Student Stories
“I think there are a lot of girls out there who are scared to follow their dreams because of the judgment that can go on with it. I want to be part of the movement to break down those barriers and open up this field to women. I try and check in with the female students in auto and diesel every year to see how they are doing. I just want to see them succeed the way I did.”
