Leslie Hopkins 15 Year Milestone With STC
Leslie Hopkins celebrated her 15th anniversary with STC in January. She originally joined as a draftsperson responsible for creating and maintaining production drawings.
Over the years, Leslie’s role has grown significantly. While she continues to work with production drawings, her responsibilities now also include the design of printed circuit boards and CNC-fabricated parts. In addition, she’s involved with material procurement and prepares inspection reports, reviews orders, and supervises operation of an automated SMT assembly line.
When asked about the changes she’s seen during her time at STC, Leslie said, “My responsibilities have definitely expanded. Plus, we’ve added a couple of really cool machines that make our product fabrication faster and easier.”
“Leslie is an incredible asset to the team at STC as she can take on almost any new challenging task and excel”, said Brad Cross, president.
She mentioned that her favorite parts of working at STC are running the cool machines, seeing her designs and prototypes fit together perfectly the first time, and having coworkers who have become like family over the last 15 years.
Leslie also shared a personal reflection: “When I was little, my grandpa taught me to find a job I loved so it wouldn’t feel like ‘work.’ I’m thankful to have that here at STC. Coming to work (most days) is fun, and even after 15 years, I still look forward to it.”
