Paige Feikert, research and technology engineer with Spirit AeroSystems, joins us live from the WE25 Diverse Podcast Studio to break down why communication can make or break your impact as an engineer — and how to get better at it.

In conversation with Larry Guthrie, director of content strategy at SWE, Paige shares her unconventional career path from biomedical engineering student, to TV news producer at a CBS affiliate, and back into engineering.

Hear why storytelling matters in technical work, actionable advice to help you communicate to executives and non-technical audiences, and what producing live TV news taught Paige about teamwork, deadlines, and handling pressure.
