Meet Defense & Systems Product Support Engineer, Emily Wannarka. Discover how her impressive military family lineage and passion for aviation helped her career take flight after her time in the US Air Force.

The Fleet Support team began tapping into the Edison Engineering Development Program (EEDP) in 2022, a program that accelerates participants' professional and technical development within GE Aerospace’s Advance Courses in Engineering and a variety of business-critical engineering assignments. Edison graduates have the technical and business foundation to proactively make innovative contributions to GE Aerospace's future. Here are four profiles of recent EEDP graduates who have made contributions within Fleet Support:

The 2023 Paris Airshow is coming up very soon, and evaluation engineer, Alisha Davis-Kent, is going to represent GE Aerospace and give us a behind the scenes look at what happens during the airshow. As an evaluation engineer, Davis-Kent has a front row seat to GE’s specialized jet engine testing. Her role is to help coordinate development tests of commercial and military engines, gathering the engineering data that help certify jet engines and further the capabilities of flight.

Sometimes it does run in the family. After taking inspiration from her engineer sister and grandfather who had a love for cars, Pam Boehm, chief consulting engineer of commercial dynamics, took after her family and was propelled into an engineering career at GE Aerospace.

For almost 25 years, Sharon Crall has volunteered with the Girl Scouts of Western Ohio (GSWO). This year, for her work in bringing her passion for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) to the organization, Crall was honored with the Girl Scouts’ Women of Distinction “Girls Change the World” award.

When she was a little girl, every Friday for six years of her childhood, Devon Shepherd’s family would get in their minivan and drive to the airport to watch planes take off and land. Little did she know, plane spotting would help influence her into working at GE Aerospace for more than 20 years.

If you blinked during this year of change you might have missed some of GE's biggest stories. Here we count down the 10 most read articles by GE Reports in 2022.

GE Reports looks back on some of the remarkable individuals whose efforts this year underscore GE’s tradition of innovation.

Loren Finnerty manages more than 300 shop floor workers and engineers at GE Aerospace’s giant Asheville plant in North Carolina, where thousands of advanced composite components are produced every year for GE jet engines. Finnerty’s ability to grasp fine detail and never lose sight of the bigger picture has earned her a reputation as one of GE’s shop floor gurus. She’s chalked off nearly 20 years at GE businesses, using her engineering, people, and project management skills to enhance safety, motivate teams, and boost production and efficiency everywhere she goes.

GE’s Honor Powrie has been elected a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering. Reserved for the best and brightest engineers, inventors, and technologists in the United Kingdom and around the world, being recognized as a Fellow is dedicated to those who have made exceptional contributions to their field.
