And it moves forward with an incredible future in manufacturing!  This is a story of Cristal's perseverance, but also of the life-changing power of a career in manufacturing.   Ellen and Jenny talk to Cristal about her first steps into manufacturing, her return to school, and how she uses networking to learn and grow. Cristal is so proud of how far she's come, and she should be! She's happy to share her experience so others might learn how they can follow in her footsteps.
