In this episode, Angus sits down with Anna Rios, a trailblazer in the world of land surveying. Anna's journey began as an administrative assistant for Texas' first female licensed surveyor and, inspired by that pioneering mentor, she dedicated herself to the profession—overcoming industry barriers to become licensed in 2018. Anna shares candid reflections on what it was like entering a field long viewed as a "man's job," explores the importance of visibility, mentorship, and education in opening surveying to women, and unpacks her personal path through setbacks, career changes, and eventual entrepreneurship. Listeners will hear about Anna's creation of the Women Surveyors Summit, a vibrant annual event fostering connection and support for women in surveying, as well as the Future Surveyors Foundation. Anna's heartfelt stories and practical advice illuminate why surveying is an exciting, varied, and welcoming career for any background—and why a network of supportive peers matters more than ever.
