66. Driven to Succeed: Diesel Tech to Electrical Engineer at Sea

Angie Savage is a powerhouse who is incredibly driven in life and in her career as a diesel tech. Consistently taking on new levels of challenge from powerlifting for her mental health to aspiring to live out at sea working as an electrical engineer. 

After friends took her to a Drifting event in Las Vegas, Angie felt an immediate draw to be in the automotive world and knew it would be what she would do with her life. What she didn’t know yet was what it was going to take as a female in the industry. She was kicked out of an after school automotive program because the instructor didn’t think she would take the course seriously. From there she was able to join a shop class in her high school and vowed to always be at the top. Never settling for mediocrity, Angie excelled in her high school classes, then at UTI earning her associates and again in her Cummins training and eventual job. While Angie worked on some of the most difficult diesel trucks there are, she discovered her love for electrical work. Despite hating math she has taken herself back to school for an engineering degree. She has proven her credibility through her work and drowning out the noise of sexism around her. In her words. “I deserve to be here!”
