Learn about Lauren Lambert


Tell us about your family

I am number 4 of 8 children. I have 3 sisters (Antionette, Ashley, and Paige) and 4 brothers (Alan, Dakota, Devin, and Logan). I also have 2 nephews (James and Jude).

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

Outside of work, I usually hanging out at home in my hammock. I enjoy spending time outside just relaxing. When it gets cold, I like to play video games with friends.


What is a dream that you want to make come true one day?

I one day hope to move to Tennessee with my own family, I have always loved it there and am bored of the flat land in the Midwest.


Tell us about a favorite memory from childhood.

Some of my favorite memories from my childhood are my family's summer road trips and vacations. My dad was a big camper and outdoorsman, and he passed that down to us.


What’s something that you’ve always wanted to try or learn?

I have always wanted to learn another language; I took French in high school and none of it stuck.


Who are some of your biggest influences?

My biggest influence is my aunt; she has always taught me to lead with my best foot forward and that you get more bees with honey than vinegar. I would not be who or where I am today without her in my life.

What movie genres interest you the most?

I love good horror movies or mysteries - there is nothing better than a good jump scare or an intense thriller scene!


If you could visit any place in the world, where would it be?

I would like to visit New Zealand; I have heard it is beautiful there and would love to spend some time hiking. 


What’s your favorite type of food or cuisine?

My favorite type of food is soup! I feel like you can make anything into soup. No one can go wrong with a good soup.

Describe an interesting hobby or pastime that you have.

I enjoy painting and being creative in my free time. I also enjoy cooking! During quarantine, every other Sunday I would take time to learn a new recipe!

Dragon Training

Members of the ADPE team recently attended a two-day Dragon Training which consisted of software training and hands-on training at the machine. They also went through calibration at the machine and could "fine-tune" some of our settings to get smoother cuts.


"The software training was helpful to the engineers as it gives us a better understanding of the capabilities and how to design our products for the Dragon to cut out", said Jim Gratzke, Design Engineer at ADPE.  

Cooking Lesson with George Sisomphone



George gave a cooking lesson to many colleagues in the shop. It was a lot of fun and a nice way to engage with other team members. This dish is called Asian Hot Pot.
