At school, math and science were her favorite subjects. “Working as an auto technician is a perfect fit for someone like Brianna,” said Jesus Miranda, Campus President for Universal Technical Institute-Dallas/Fort Worth. “This work involves critical thinking and advanced math and science skills.” Undeterred by the fact that the majority of automotive technicians are males, Brianna enrolled at Universal Technical Institute-Dallas/Fort Worth upon graduating from high school. “I knew that this was a career path I really wanted to pursue and I wasn’t going to let the unknown and intimidation factor of being one of the only women at the school keep me from achieving my goals and pursuing my dreams,” she said. Today, Lambert is a service technician at Tesla Motors in Farmers Branch, where she spends her days working on some of the most sophisticated electric vehicles in the industry. “The onboard diagnostics and technology in our Models S and X are amazing,” she said. “I love being able to work on such intricate and powerful machines.” Lambert hopes to see more women enter the automotive and diesel technician field. She finds the time in her busy schedule to go back to the Universal Technical Institute-DFW to speak with women interested in entering the field. “With awareness growing that working on today’s vehicles isn’t so much about turning a wrench, but being able to detect, analyze and solve complex technical issues, we will see more women pursuing this career path,” said Miranda.
