Kensley worked with me through her Junior undergraduate year and then had to transition to another faculty mentor during her senior year because I went on sabbatical.

Since Kensley graduated when I wasn't around, I lost track of her for a while -- but recently (2026) she has gotten back in touch. She tells me she works as a process engineer at Michelin; specifically, the semi-finished side of production. Her area produces and/or bags the chemicals that get added to the rubber to make different layers of the tire. She says it is cooler than it sounds.
