Since returning to Tennessee with my husband and two young daughters mid 2021, I have reconnected with the Southern Automotive Women’s Forum on mission to foster a love of STEM in young girls across the region. I have also had the opportunity to return to my Alma Mater by serving on TTU’s Manufacturing and Engineering Technology Advisory Board by giving input into curriculum and supporting graduates as they launch into their careers.
