137. She started street racing at 11, now has 16 years in the automotive industry!

Guest: Kelsey Bailey - Paint and Body Equipment Sales and Training

There are SO many ways to make a successful career out of the trades! This week Bogi sits down with Kelsey Bailey, a dynamic young woman with 16 years of experience in the automotive industry who took an interesting path to get to where she is. Kelsey started street racing at just 11 years old! Her love of speed led her down the path of becoming a mechanic. She put herself through college wrenching during the week and bartending on the weekends. Despite her mechanical leanings, Kelsey earned a degree in Collision Repair and Insurance Management (CRIM), was hired right after graduation and has been on the collision and repair side of the industry ever since. Kelsey now sells paint and body equipment to body shops, and her job affords her the ability to teach kids at votech schools, be involved in Skills USA, and mentor with Women in Industry Network (WIN).
