IPC APEX EXPO 2023 SHOW & TELL MAGAZINE Christina Trussell is a harness design engineer at Blue Origin and a recipient of the IPC Rising Star Award. Since she was a young child, she wanted to fly through the skies. In this interview, she talks about her dreams and what it's like to work in the electronics industry. What attracted you to this industry and what do you find most exciting? I fell into the electronics industry out of my love for aviation. When I was a small child, my father took me to watch the Blue Angels fly in Seattle one summer. I remember being on his shoulders looking up at the sky and saying, "I want to do that when I grow up, Daddy!" Ever since that day, I was determined to do whatever it took to be a part of making that happen. After high school I joined the Navy and that meant becoming an Avionics Electronics Technician. After the Navy, it was college and fate fell into place directing me towards the electronics industry. What do you hope to achieve in your career?
