2010 Automotive News 100 Leading Women

Why did you want to work in the auto industry? When I was applying for universities I applied to GMI in Flint, Mich., because it was a cooperative program where you could go to university and work. So we worked three months and went to university three months. It was a way to earn my way through university.I’m from Shawinigan, Quebec, a small town outside of Montreal. I went to school in Flint and worked at the Sainte-Therese assembly plant, which was a GM assembly plant outside of Montreal. It was shut down in September 2002.
