Mechanical Engineer
Teledyne RDI Instruments

As a role model for women in STEM, what encouragement or advice would you give other women who are still establishing themselves?
My advice for new engineers is to always step up to new opportunities and challenges to gain experience and to figure out what you like and what you don’t. Find your passion, do the work, and respect will be earned by delivering on your commitments and the quality of your work.

What excites you most about your work at Teledyne?
The two favorite parts of my job here at TRDI are the opportunity to work on so many unique projects, and being a part of such a talented and experienced team.

Looking back, what career advice would you give yourself from your early days in college or your first job from your current perspective?
I would go back and tell myself to take the time to ask the questions and do the research to get a better understanding of the big picture. There are many ways to get to the finish line and it’s easy to get bogged down in the tiny details but ultimately the best products and most innovative solutions come from a collaborative approach that keeps the overarching goals in mind at every step along the process.
