How do you use your strengths in your job?
Learning the intricacies of machining can be intimidating to some, so I use my interpersonal skills to make students feel comfortable with both the subject and with me. My analytical skills help me assess students’ learning styles and then adapt my teaching methods accordingly. My even temper allows me to be the same person every day.

What was your biggest learning challenge in school?
I did not enjoy reading very much, so book reports were always hard for me. However, I could read news for hours.

What motivates you to go to work?
I have the opportunity to teach students how to become competent and productive in an advanced manufacturing environment that uses state-of-the-art machines to produce products with incredible precision. I love watching a student transform in a few short weeks from being intimidated by the technology to being comfortable operating the machines.

Every job has specific skills. What do you need in yours?
I need patience, the ability to multi-task and know how to engage people and get them excited about machining technology.
