What is your favorite part about your job? My favorite part about my current job as a quality assurance inspector is being in a position that allows me to slow down and teach other maintainers how to do things properly. I also enjoy being able to observe and work with shops from other maintenance career fields. Sometimes I learn something new myself, which is not something that is often afforded while you are working on the flight line.
Career/Personal goals: My short-term career goal is to make TSgt next year. It will be my second time testing, and I have been studying so I feel confident that I will make it.
What is most important to you? Of course, I would have to say that my family is the most important thing to me. Besides that, I choose traveling, which is something that I have a great passion for.
