Built to Go Further

Based in Milwaukee, Abby designs tools and test equipment for platforms like the F-16, C-130, and S-70^TM helicopters. But her work doesn’t stop at the drawing board. She travels internationally to support customers with hands-on training and implementation, making sure aircraft stay operational and ready for action.

In Romania, she trained local technicians on landing gear maintenance procedures. In Taiwan, she conducted a site survey in preparation to help the customer establish new helicopter maintenance capabilities.

Abby’s passion for engineering began in high school through FIRST® Robotics, a program that introduced her to hands-on STEM learning. That experience led to a 2022 internship at Lockheed Martin and, later, a full-time role where her skills and opportunities continue to grow.

Abby’s schedule is demanding, but Lockheed Martin’s flexible policies allow her time to recharge. After international trips, she can adjust her hours to recover. And back home, she takes advantage of a 4x10 schedule, using her Fridays off to mentor an all-girls youth robotics team. For Abby and the rest of Gen Z, a healthy work-life balance is crucial to complement their challenging and fulfilling careers.

From mentoring the next generation to supporting missions around the world, today’s early career professionals are making an impact that extends far beyond the workplace. Lockheed Martin empowers them to grow in their roles while staying connected to what matters, whether that’s community involvement, cultural exploration, or personal well-being.

Across continents and in local communities, Gen Z isn’t waiting for change. They’re building it.
