any girls coming through. So I think
starting out in high school would be
great, and then even in college, and it
should be equal opportunity for the
boys and girls.

ight now I'm an operations
manager in our defense
security and aerospace sector.
I've been in this role for about four or
five months, but I've been with Plexus
for almost nine years.
When I was in high school, I didn't
really know what I wanted to do. I
knew I liked math and science, but I
wasn't really sure where I was going
to go with it. We had someone come
to our school from UW-Platteville
and speak about engineering. at
really sparked my interest, and I
looked into the different kinds of
engineering. I think I'm one of the
only college students I know that went
in with one major and stayed with it
the whole time.
It was actually a female that
came and spoke to us. I don't think
engineering was even on my radar. I
think if you want to catch students'
interest, you have to start younger and
you have to get into their classrooms
and give them an idea about it. You
don't realize all the different fields that
you can end up in.
