"Two years ago, I was tasked by the highest leadership at my current organization to spearhead a team that would look at a total redesign of our small passenger airplanes. The main reason for the redesign was to save manufacturing costs and, in turn, help us stay competitive on pricing with other small passenger aircraft manufacturers. While I was definitely confident in my side of the design of the new planes, where I really was challenged was on the materials and sourcing side of the project. As I assembled our team, I had the chance to step out of my comfort zone and work closely with other engineers and buyers on the newly sourced materials we are using on the production of the new planes that started just months ago. Today, I am so thankful for being able to lead this project as it really helped me grow into a more well rounded Aerospace professional."
