Hailee is a Mechanical Engineer for Komatsu who moved to Venango County in 2020. She grew up in Butler County and attended Knoch High School in Saxonburg. She then received her bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Penn State Behrend in Erie.

Hailee is excited about her most recent accomplishment of graduating college and looks forward to seeing what this new chapter has in store for her and her future.

Her goals include traveling, passing her Fundamentals of Engineering exam, working on her Professional Engineering license, volunteering in the community, and making as many acquaintances as she can.

For hobbies, Hailee enjoys drawing, singing, taking care of her plants, exploring local areas, working out at the YMCA, and being outdoors. Some seasonal hobbies include kayaking and skiing.

Hailee also loves attending festivals in Franklin, exploring Oil Creek State Park, and trying new foods in the area.

She likes living in Venango County because she appreciates that she can support local businesses in the area and that there is always something to do, no matter what time of year it is.

“Even though this is a small area there are so many opportunities to get engaged,” she told us.

Hailee would love to get to know as many people as she can, especially since she’s new to the area. She hopes that joining FLEX will not only help her become a bigger part of her community, but also expand her “community.”
