She is passionate about her heritage and culture and wanted to share more about it to others whether it's through stories, experiences, food, or language such as teaching someone a Spanish word or phrase. “Hispanics have a diverse cultural background that fosters creativity and adaptability, allowing us to approach problems with fresh ideas and solutions,” said Laura. “We are known as hard workers no matter the challenges we end up facing.” #LatinasInSTEM #HispanicHeritage #HispanicHeritageMonth

#ICYMI | Last Friday was #NationalManufacturingDay! Our approximately 2,300 General Dynamics Mission Systems manufacturing, quality and support teammates are a vital part of our organization who help fabricate the products, technologies and services that make a difference for those that lead, serve, and protect our nation. ?…Like Herty, a manufacturing employee with 50 years of service at General Dynamics Mission Systems! Herty came to Minnesota about 50 years ago from California. Her husband and her had small children and she needed a job to help her family get into a home. She applied to a handful of jobs in the Bloomington, Minnesota area and initially decided on the role here due to its convenience and get her family started. Nearly 50 years later, she laughs as she reminisces about her time here. “I don’t think I would have bet that I would have stayed this long, but the mission of the company, the ways I could help, and the people are what have made me stayed,” said Herty. She likes the challenge of solving problems as a team and being able to create new ideas on the manufacturing floor. “We had a couple of things come in unserviceable, but I found it fun that I could work together with others to create something new,” said the GD Mission Systems employee with half a century of service. Herty didn’t always think she would end up in manufacturing, but she really has enjoyed the culture, the environment, and the people she works with every day. “You work with engineers and technicians, and you all have ideas. When you combine all the ideas, and it works out… it’s really gratifying,” Herty explained with a chuckle. Recently the location celebrated Hertys’ impressive tenure with cake. Often, Herty finds some humor that some of the newer employees weren’t even born yet until years after she started in 1974. “I didn’t start thinking this would be a dream job, but 50 years later it became one …and I’m still here and it’s fun,” said the manufacturing lead with 50 years at General Dynamics Mission Systems.?

Juan (Paco) is a Software Technical Manager out of Arizona who has been at General Dynamics Mission Systems for 26 years. Paco takes pride in his work with the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) in the Rescue 21 program. “We have seen positive outcomes of our team efforts, every year the USCG let us know how many lives our system has helped saved and we have witnessed our system being used during hurricanes and other USCG events with great success,” said Paco, “Seeing my efforts and of my team gives me pride on what I do and keeps me motivated to continue learning and growing in my professional journey.” Paco is a father of two and has been involved with the Society of Hispanic Professionals [SHPE] at local universities and other local STEM organizations who have an ongoing need for volunteers.
