HOW I LEARNED AEROSPACE IS FOR EVERYONE
When I first embarked on my career with the Pacific Northwest Aerospace Alliance ( PNAA ), little did I know that it would become a spark for my interest in aerospace and aviation . Prior to joining PNAA , I had no inkling of the vast world that existed within aerospace . I started as a part-time bookkeeper , merely going through the motions of a job without fully comprehending the industry ’ s magnitude . However , as time went by , I delved deeper into understanding the work of our members and the significant role they play in shaping the aerospace landscape .

The dedication and passion of the professionals I encountered within PNAA opened my eyes to the remarkable achievements and advancements within the aerospace field . Each day became an opportunity to learn , absorb , and contribute to an industry that constantly pushes the boundaries of innovation and technology .
Over the years , I have taken on various roles within PNAA , starting as a membership coordinator and administrative assistant . With each new position , my responsibilities have expanded , and I find myself immersed in the vibrant world of aerospace . Currently serving as an executive administrator , it is a privilege to handle diverse tasks that keep me engaged with the industry ’ s pulse .
My contributions , though seemingly small , have had a ripple effect on the aerospace industry . One of the projects I am particularly proud of is our annual B2B Fair , where I have been instrumental in connecting buyers and suppliers , forging relationships that go on to shape the future of our industry .
