 Hi, my name is Gianna Hortez. My shop is prototype machining and design and I am your December student of the month. My favorite part about my shop is that it combines the theoretical side of engineering to the hands-on side of engineering where you can actually see a part come to life. After high school I plan to go to college for engineering where I hope to obtain my bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and then hopefully in the future I'll obtain my master's. I am a member of LEAP. I'm the corresponding secretary of Student Council Interact, and then I'm also members of National Honor Society and World Language Honor Society. A fun fact about me is that I was actually a NASA inspector and contractor this past school year in correlation with my shop, which participates in national hunch each year. I'd like to thank my family friends and teachers for always helping me out on my educational endeavors.
