Controls Engineer @ GM
See linked in for work history.
I’ve been fixing stuff since I was about eight years old. Maybe before that. I loved puzzles as a small child and had a massive dinosaur collection many of which were glow-in-the-dark self assembly models of Dino skeletons. As a small child, I loved science and struggled for years with math until middle school when I found a teacher who taught math spatially- relative to geometry, after that, it was crazy easy. I went to college for nursing first and that was not a positive experience, I later returned for skilled trades (robotics) and achieved my associate's degree pretty quickly. I immediately went into the job market and was under paid and not treated well for years. I kept working at it, never accepting rejection and now I work for General Motors as a controls engineer.
