I took every CAD and PLTW course I could in high school and graduated a semester early. Then I went to Morrison Institute of Technology and received my associates degree in CAD as an Engineering Technician. I then applied everywhere I could think RI WR ÀQG D MRE 1RUWKURS *UXPPDQ FDOOHG DQG ÁHZ PH WR :HVW Virginia in November of 2019 for an interview. I was hired a week later and began work in January 2020. I really love what I do and have fun designing everyday. My team is a great group that work very well together and give me their total support. Northrop Grumman will also pay for their employees to continue their education with tuition reimbursement so I am beginning to work on my Bachelors Degree.
