My name is Kelly Clayton, and I want to share with ANNnews readers a journey that began many years ago and has led me to where I am today: Quality Supervisor at Aernnova.<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/p>

My first steps in the working world <\/strong><\/p>

My professional life began in a very different way than you might imagine. I worked as a dental prosthetics technician, physical therapist, assistant at a language and IT school, and assistant at an insurance office. Each of these experiences gave me valuable skills that, while seemingly unrelated, helped me develop a flexible mindset and a capacity for constant learning.<\/p>

The leap into the aeronautical sector: a new world<\/strong><\/p>

In May 2006, I began my first steps in the aeronautical sector while studing a technical program in mechanics. I was fortunate enough to complete my first internship at Compoende Aeron\u00e1utica, a company that provides non-destructive testing (NDT) services. Initially, I worked translating aircraft maintenance manuals, but I quickly had the opportunity to specialize as an NDT technician. It was there that I learned about Aernnova do Brasil and began performing tests at their facilities.<\/p>

A new chapter at Aernnova<\/strong><\/p>

In April 2008, I decided to take the next step and join Aernnova do Brasil, where I began my career as a quality inspector. I worked on various assembly lines, performing part inspection and helping implement non-destructive testing. Over the years, I had the opportunity to learn and grow, including an international experience in Kansas, USA, as well as implementing new processes and equipment.<\/p>

A period of growth: from Technician to Quality Coordinator<\/u><\/strong><\/p>

Between 2011 and 2014, I was promoted to Quality Technician and actively participated in the development of procedures, audits, and process improvements. One of the key moments of my career was when I became involved in the AH Tailboom project, a project that allowed me to learn even more about the industrialization of products and processes.<\/p>

Also, as a Level 2 NDT technician, I continued to enhance my knowledge and skills. In 2014, I was promoted to Quality Coordinator. Supervising quality inspectors, I was able to further develop my leadership and management skills, in addition to learning about teamwork and direct interaction with large-scale customers such as Embraer and Airbus Helicopters.<\/p>

The challenge in \u00c9vora: a new beginning<\/u><\/strong><\/p>

In 2022, I decided to take a step into the unknown. I wanted something more, both professionally and personally. That’s how the opportunity arose to move to \u00c9vora, Portugal, and take on a new challenge in a larger company with a different culture. Now, a year and a half later, I’m a Quality Supervisor at Aernnova, responsible for supervising quality inspectors and engineers in the metal assembly of programs like Embraer’s Praetor.<\/p>

A challenge and an opportunity<\/u><\/strong><\/p>

This new challenge has undoubtedly been one of the greatest of my career. Leading a team of 25 people has been an enriching experience that has allowed me to learn, adapt, and try new things every day.<\/p>

I am convinced that, with everyone’s efforts, we can continue improving our processes and maintain Aernnova’s status as one of the best companies to work for.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
