My automotive industry experience began as a student at an accredited post-secondary institution followed by a career as a automotive technician and eventually ending up as a instructor here at Riverland Community College.
As a teenager I had a passion for automobiles and how they worked. I felt fortunate to attend a career and technical education program which gave me a huge leg up when entering the industry 3 decades ago. I have a passion for helping others navigate the steps necessary to become educated and prepared to enter the field as an entry level technician.
The Automotive industry is an ever-evolving career field and learning new technology and repair skills is a lifelong endeavor. I look forward to greeting you on your first step towards your journey into this wonderful industry!
