So I started. I graduated a university when you're Irvine with the Masters in physics. And there was a mentoring program out of you. See, I through the physical sciences program, and the mentor worked at Boeing, and so he was able to introduce me to the technology and then, um, new graduation time. He was able to help facilitate need to get an interview. And luckily, I was a fight fit for the team. And so I became a failure analysis engineer. And so I was working as an engineer initially and, um, actually failing houses of electronic components. So whenever moments fail on any of the programs and accept with support, they come to our team so that we can do investigation and figure out why white failed and what happened. So from there I was able, I started taking a more leadership roles and more working more how to streamline and make things more efficient. Um, And then I got to a point where I was leading the team, um, and became team league for the team. And when the opportunity came up on, my manager had left. But I was the one to interview for her role. And so I interviewed. For a while, I was able to get into her role and as lab manager, and from there, it kind of spurred me into other areas of management. Right. So I I managed a lab team, a lot of equipment, a lot of maintenance and a team of 15 or so people. And then, um, reorg and re shift. I was able to get a lab team in El Segundo as well. And so I spend teams across to different sites for a while, and I was able to figure out the right bounce for that. How to streamline, how to make labs more fish in what we were going to do. Um, as a lab team overall. And from there, I try to do more the program support side. So I got to the program side, and that's kind of where I am now working with our site. Um, in the satellite development team, figuring out all the different areas are manufacturing. Is that like and kind of that kind of assisted to, um, just me where I am right now. Well, right.

learn. Are they learning the skills that they want to learn and are what they want to learn, especially develop, um, and making sure that their role is aligned to what their skills and their I guess they're their best skills are. So I do part of our work in that. So I do a lot of one on ones with my team members. So, um, I see a lot of them throughout my day. I'm in a lot of different meetings cause I'm participating a lot of groups. So our team supports a lot of sight internal customers. And so I'm interfacing with a lot of the site internal customers as well to make sure that our team members are doing what they need to do. Um, as well as removing girls for my team members, Right. So during the one on ones we have discussion, though, I can't get this group to do so something. And so I helped facilitate that as well, and kind of helped them removed roadblocks so my hours can vary, so it'll depend. Some days, I'm, uh I'm requested for tests with my team members. Some days, I'm asked random questions from people about materials and processes on what we do, and it's if I know the right resource is or who I can go to and who would rescue. So it depends. Times been work, work, travel. I don't travel that often for work. Um, the only times I would travel would be for trainings, um, working from home. We've were pretty flexible, and right now everybody's working from home. But for the most part, we work from home. You can do it periodically, depending on I usually use it. Do it when I have to do concentrated time where I need to prepare something. If I have to write a long, detailed document, That's usually when I, um, work from home. Almost five. It's more fun working on site anyway, how it is in in our in our rule. It's a lot of there's a lot of product management, so a lot of times working with a lob, a large, different team. Sometimes you can

the document it what that process looks like. Um, what are the different processes? Are the different paths you're following and start crossing those off if they're not the right path, So then you can see a process of elimination versus just trying a whole bunch of different routes all at the same time. Um, other challenges I have is just coordinating with different groups, and communication is huge. Um, port rating with I want to work with quality. If I need to talk Teoh the operations team, it's receiving its out. According all those and so communication, just be email. Lincoln, Clinton, Um, like our internal instant message, I guess as well as just this phone calls is usually resolved a lot of the shoes. So just finding the right communication style with the right people. I guess everyone has their own communication styles as well. So I think that's that's all really important too. I don't know if I have I don't know if I have other examples that I could share with you. Um, well, one of our so are my team members, uh, bargain our group since they support everyone on the site Sometimes a lot of the site and we've had a lot of turnover within the last few years. So with our we have a lot of challenges trying to figure out, like do people know what we do andon what our capabilities are, and so that would help with people knowing what we do. So we get a lot of different challenges, and I work with incredibly smart people. So we're just getting people the other to come up with. A solution is helpful. This because you get so many ideas just throwing out there, um, or my rolls. I don't use anything more than most of the Microsoft Office projects stuff. So word, um, power points. Let's sell. I use video sometimes as well cause the picture aspect of it is pretty handy, Um, as well as Microsoft Project.
