My trade is X36 rigger, I have been an apprentice since March 2022 and employed with NNS since December 2020. 

A little about me: when I'm not working, I enjoy designing and working on household remodeling projects with my 4 sons. If I'm not working on something, you can find me laying out by the pool. I came to work at the shipyard because I needed to find purpose outside of being a stay-at-home mom. 

What sets me apart from other nominees? Probably how much I care about this place and the people here. Most people leave work at work when they go home. I wake up thinking about this place and how to improve it.

I'm fortunate enough to have a husband who is also an apprentice in X36, so we spend a lot of time brainstorming about the job and our visions for our trade and the company in general.
