About KC

• After high school, I was working at a print shop when my girlfriend at the time urged me to get a college degree.
• Not really knowing what I wanted to do, I decided to get my degree in business because I figured it was broad enough to lead to some sort of stable job.
• I moved to Phoenix, Arizona, to work at a call center—I started by answering calls and eventually got promoted to supervisor and then project manager.
• I was learning a bunch of valuable skills from my various positions at the call center but I didn’t feel fulfilled.
• I moved back to Tucson and got a job with Raytheon working in operations before moving into a lead position for our Career Enrichment Program.
• While helping hourly employees find more fulfilling careers within the organization, I realized that I needed to do something similar for myself.
• After touring the Immersive Design Center, I decided that’s exactly where I wanted to be—I applied for an operations role, didn’t get it, took some time to recalibrate, tried again, and got it!
• Now, as the operations lead for the Immersive Design Center at Raytheon, I absolutely love coming to work everyday!
