Additional Information
I’ve worked at Advance since 2022, along the way learning a lot on how not only gasoline engines function, but also diesels. With said knowledge, I had a new passion to pursue a job in the diesel field, which is why I’m currently in the Hinds diesel program. I’m mechanically inclined, having to do my own repairs and maintenance on not only my truck, but other family members’ and loved ones’ vehicles as well. I have yet to work in an actual shop environment, which is why I chose to get my education.
