Nicole joined the next gen blade design team for her second rotation as part of the Edison Engineering Development Program (EEDP) with some background in turbine airfoil design but little background in manufacturing. To Nicole’s credit she recognized a need to gain a deepened understanding of manufacturing and asked that she be assigned work to build this depth. This request proved to be typical of Nicole’s work ethic and commitment to furthering her understanding of key engineering disciplines. She regularly looks for opportunities to expand her existing skill set and is not afraid to take on challenging roles. Nicole proved to be a very quick learner and did an excellent job managing our vendor substantiation documentation along with providing a common point of contact for our external coating vendor. Her role helped drive a consistent message to our supplier and we were able to successfully work through multiple process improvement changes to their coating process. The result was a better product that was delivered on time per our commitment to the business. Additionally, Nicole was provided an opportunity to lead a joint manufacturing and engineering initiative where she led a lean event at a manufacturing site and completed a manufacturing variation study on shaped cooling hole effectiveness. Through this effort Nicole was able to present to the VP of Engineering and VP of Supply Chain. She showed great poise and clearly articulated the worked she accomplished, receiving praise from senior leadership on the success of the project. I would highly recommend Nicole to any engineering organization. Her work ethic and desire to expand her own understanding, coupled with her ability to pick up complex problems and solve them quickly will prove to be an asset for any organization.

Nicole worked on my Marine & Industrial HPT Airfoils team for her first Edison rotation at GE Aviation mid-year 2014 to 2015. She developed HPT airfoil design expertise working on fast paced New Product Introduction (NPI) program taking a LM6000PF+ HPT Stage 1 Blade design from pre-Conceptual Design through Preliminary Design during the year. She worked closely with the heat transfer team, drafting and the other airfoil design engineers. As issues came up, she demonstrated her persistence and addressed them quickly and stayed on schedule for casting release and her Preliminary Design Review. Nicole had multiple reviews with the chief engineer and with our section manager and her review material was clear and concise. In addition to her role on my team, she completed her first year in the Advanced Course in Engineering and managed to find time to volunteer her time in an Early Career program leadership role. I would strongly recommend Nicole for a role on your team.
