Addison has one of the BEST student resumes I’ve seen in 16 years! From day 1 at @cte_innovation she asked for mentorship in public speaking/confidence and she’s got it! So proud to support her as the BEST representative of @gcschools in aerospace engineering @brhstigers

When the @cte_innovation 2nd year clean energy and emerging automotive students are learning to use Autodesk/Fusion360 and you say you’ll buy them donuts if they can successfully 3D design/model a donut. Challenge accepted! 🍩 Good gracious I love our kiddos!

Opening a @gcschools school—involved much research and problem solving. LOVED teaching our Emer. Auto class this morning and helping students “think big” in the engineering design step of solving problems & research. Using go-carts definitely got them energized! #foreverateacher
