MOXY
The Voice of Women in Infrastructure
Mox·ie /ˈmäksē/ (also “Moxy”): noun: force of character, determination, or nerve; courage, “guts”
If you have moxy, you have the strength, confidence, and integrity to honor your authentic self and affect positive change at your company, on your job site, in your community, and in your home.
In this era of innovative infrastructure and inclusive workplaces, MOXY is precisely timed. We are the first publisher to curate content in a way that empowers and inspires women to have a bigger role in STEM and trades-heavy fields that are literally re-shaping our country.

Mission + Values + Women = A Movement
To create inspiring, empowering, and informative content for women working at all levels and in all sectors of infrastructure. This platform is driven by authenticity, creativity, and collaboration.
Why MOXY?
With the passage of the mega infrastructure bill and a renewed commitment to DE&I nationwide, now is the time to target this demographic with a first-of-its-kind magazine that understands women and the challenges they face in a historically male-dominated industry.
Additionally, a recent analysis from the Institute for Women’s Policy Research indicates that the number of women working in construction trades increased by 17.6 percent between 2017 and 2018. This growth is nearly five times faster than job growth of 3.7 percent in construction occupations overall.
As a small, women-owned business, MOXY is editorially independent of a board or association membership.
Appealing to women in infrastructure in the way that many national women’s magazines appeal to fashionistas, our content and design are free of the “suit-and-tie,” business style of most every trade or infrastructure-related publication on the market today.
Most of these publications target men first — as they do indeed comprise most of the industry (for now) — and women as a novelty. In other words, women generally only make token appearances in these publications.
From our perspective, women in infrastructure are the reason MOXY exists and our content reflects this.
Meet the Founders
Natasha Ozybko
Monica Dutcher
Having completed several Ironman triathlons while maintaining a career in sales, Natasha is the epitome of what it means to have “moxy.” As a co-founder of the non-profit Women of Asphalt, she knows firsthand what women in the infrastructure industry can achieve together.
With 20 years of experience as an intrepid saleswoman and networker extraordinaire, Natasha is ready to show women just how far they can go in building America’s infrastructure. In March 2021, she was recognized by Construction Dive as a Construction Champion – a dedicated woman who is making her industry a more diverse, productive, and welcoming place for all.
Mantra: And when you get to where you’re going, turn around and help her too. For there was a time not long ago when she was you.
If Monica isn’t creating, she isn’t living. A graduate of the University of South Carolina, Aiken, she has 15 years of experience writing for general consumer media and a variety of technical industries, from nuclear energy to asphalt pavements.
She envisioned MOXY to celebrate and empower fierce women and to fill a void that no other publications were filling (Enough with photos of silos and backhoes already!). The editorial muscle of the team, she is a crusader for work-life balance, a connoisseur of tea, and is absolutely smitten with her cat.
Mantra: If you can’t beat them, go your own way.
