\"Anne<\/a> Name<\/strong>: <\/strong>Anne Yust
<\/strong><\/p>\n

Title: <\/strong>Engineering <\/strong>Document Control\/Drafting<\/p>\n

Company: <\/strong>Micromedics, Inc., a company that develops, manufactures and markets FibriJet\u00ae Biomaterials Applicators<\/a> for dispensing biomaterials such as platelet gel and tissue sealants.<\/p>\n

Job description:<\/strong> Support Engineering Department with drafting and document control<\/p>\n

Hometown:<\/strong> <\/strong>Hanover, Mass. and Richmond, Va.<\/p>\n

1. <\/strong>How did you find yourself in this career?<\/strong>
My husband suggested in 1997 that I take a CAD course, so I started with AutoCAD and loved it. When we moved from Arizona to Minnesota in 2000, I worked for a medical device company that eventually merged with another company that used SolidWorks. So that\u2019s when I learned it, doing document change orders (DCOs). Mostly I made changes to SolidWorks parts and drawings, and I would also model from scratch. Of course, once I learned SolidWorks, I never wanted to return to AutoCAD (why return to a Sentra<\/a> when you can drive a Murano<\/a>?). I really enjoy organizing files and encouraging everyone to follow the same procedures for file management.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. <\/strong>What is your proudest career moment?<\/strong>
I was honored to be on stage at SolidWorks World two out of the five years I attended. In 2008 I was nominated and in 2009 I was awarded the SolidWorks User Group Leader of the Year from among more than 150 user group leaders worldwide.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. <\/strong>What goal inspires you most?<\/strong>
Sharing SolidWorks and computer tips and shortcuts; setting up systems to simplify workflow. I know that Lynn Allen of AutoDesk has a job title of \u201cAutoCAD Evangelist\u201d and I would like a similar title, maybe even working for SolidWorks one day (hint, hint).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. <\/strong>How has SolidWorks made a difference in your life?<\/strong>
In 2006 I volunteered to lead the Twin Cities COSMOS (now Simulation) User Group. This is what opened doors for me as a familiar face and name at SolidWorks World and in the SolidWorks community. I am amazed and humbled by all the people who recognize me and greet me wherever I go, all related to SolidWorks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. <\/strong>What do you do for fun? <\/strong>
I\u2019m a member of the Minnesota Mandolin Orchestra<\/a>. We perform in local parks in the summer and at nursing homes in the spring and fall. I have my first small solo this weekend at our first performance of the season. I\u2019m also part of the mandolin group that plays Christmas music in December. I also play guitar and mandolin in bluegrass jams around town. It\u2019s cool to play \u201cwith a bunch of old men\u201d for 2-3 hours at a time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
