Background

About Dawn Funnell

I have been welding ever since a young age, developing the forms I can do through my schooling, beyond just basic MIG welding I am also skilled in FCAW and TIG. Through my learning at Fox Valley Tech I passes all bend tests with only one or two having small discontinuities through the year course. I am a quick learner to new things and have always been noted on my mechanical incline I have towards hands on fields such a welding and manufacturing. I pride myself on my dedication to get my work done as well as provide the best I have to offer. I believe in quality work at all times. At the same time I do recognize that there is always more to learn, not only to keep up with new developments in the areas, but also career opportunities offering the chance to show how some tasks can be done more efficiently. My certifications at this point already are basic welding and manufacturing, safety regulations, blueprint reading and designing, processing design and execution. As well as knowledge of operations for robots mainly used for welding procedures, both manual operation and coding programs. I am also a people person and a leader, although I have a lot of energy I know where to direct it and how to provide a positive, yet strict mannerism. I am able to adapt to change when needed and think critically and creatively in the appropriate situations. During my time in highschool I participated in the skills USA competitions, the first ever being at the manufacturing facility in Oshkosh where I placed second for reading a blueprint accidently and welding the item to the directed pattern. The second was the next year's competition for the same area, and that sane year I went to the statewide competition to compete. Welding is something that I have a strong passion for and am dedicated to putting to good use. In my media section you will be able to view some of the work I have done, using softwares and my welding such as Tig and Mig.
