Aviation Plant Leader

Where did you receive your education?
I graduated from Clarkson University in upstate New York with a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.
How long have you been at GE?
I have worked for GE for 17 years. I started with the Global Research Center in New York as a Facilities Engineer, then moved to Aviation at a Rotating Parts manufacturing plant in North Carolina, from there I moved the Aviation Services side of the business in Ohio, the to an affiliate business in Florida, and now I work as Plant Leader for a plant in Veresegyhaz Hungary and Dzierzoniow Poland.
Have you always worked and lived in CEE?
No – See above
What accomplishment are you most proud of?
I would have to say that I am very proud of myself and my husband for making our move to CEE. It took courage to sign up to run two plants in two different countries at the same time, it took a sense of adventure for us to decide to live in CEE, and my husband has been incredibly supportive of the whole experience.
What do you do for your health?
I try to at least get out for a good walk 6 days a week. Budapest is a great place to do this because there are always lots of people to watch. In addition, I try to eat healthy with lots of fruits and vegetables.
What is your hobby?
I love to ski and play football, although I haven’t played since I moved here a year ago.
