As I am entering the field of engineering, my experiences in manufacturing significantly make a difference in my perspective of the workforce. In the summer of 2023, I worked in production at Gentex Corporation in Zeeland, MI. Not only did I learn basic to moderately advanced technical skills, but I learned how to cooperate with others effectively and efficiently while working toward goals.My interest in electronics/hardware stemmed from my passion for making technology more accessible and more purposeful. Technology has been improving and changing at a faster rate than ever, and that would not be accomplished without innovative engineers. Improving everyday technology has made a substantial difference in how society operates. A few of my interests consist of automotive technology, biomedical instruments, electronic devices, and communication systems.Being a woman in stem and engineering is a major factor in my journey of gaining equitable skills, expanding my knowledge, and having the opportunity to create new innovative ideas for technology in the future. My end goal in my career is to find a job that is fulfilling by making a positive difference in the world of technology, engineering, manufacturing, and the environment.
