I enjoy making things with my hands which is ultimately what brought me into welding as a career. I don't have anything in particular that I would consider myself especially skilled at but if it has anything to do with being hands on I can probably make it work and would enjoy doing it. Over the years I will occasionally pickup drawing or painting when I have the space and time, I have also learned to crochet and did that as a winter project for one year. I also very much enjoy being outdoors. However in recent years I haven't been able to enjoy those kinds of activities as much as I would have liked. I have been mostly focused on work and getting through school so I haven't has much free time when I wouldn't be catching up on some sleep. I hope that will be one of the better changes I see happening this year.

Hi, my name is Kirsten. I am 31 years old, currently living in Belleville Michigan. I am a cat mom of two fur babies that I love dearly and give me a sense of meaning to my life. I will be finishing the last two classes needed to complete courses required for the welding program through Washtenaw Community College in winter semester of 2023. I am currently working in a welding and fabrication shop with a company by the name of Duo-Gard. I am excited to finish school, continue moving forward with a career in welding, and hopefully begin to have more free time to travel and do things in life that make me happy.

Cricket loves to know everything that's going on. He can be pushy at times but well behaved. He likes to smell everything, so he has his own stool in the kitchen so he can be up off the floor to see, smell, and supervise when I'm cooking.

I have finished all of my welding and fabrication classes for the welding program. This is a snapshot of the parts layout I had designed from scratch, made blueprints and procedure forms, cut, build, then finally stress test to the point of failure.

This is my little boy Merwin. He was the runt of the litter but definitely the crazy one and always ready for playtimes. He is also master biscuit maker and loves napping on my lap.
