We're going international and had the awesome opportunity to talk with Nataliya Kilmovskikh and hear her amazing journey.  She lives in Denmark and has traveled the world throughout her career.  Nataliya wasn't always on the automation track and was teaching English in China several years ago.  Her fire for automation started burning when she was introduced to industrial robots and knew that was the future she wanted.  Hearing how she made her education choice was insightful and the way the curriculum is taught in Denmark is a concept that may resonate with others.

Her perception to the industry as a whole is refreshing.  She openly talks about the many different paths that any person can make for themselves. For her she wants the next generation to know the possibilities that exists and how learning basic concepts such as PLC programming or HMI design can be the exposure you need for your career to take off.

For those LEGO fans once you hear her story of how she took a LEGO Mindstorm robot and created content around a problem she was trying to solve. That led to a connection on LinkedIn who offered her an internship to design a collaborative robot cell tied directly to automating a manufacturing process in a factory.  Talk about ultimate touchdown!

Nataliya shares about some of her interests outside of automation such as her love of being on the water.  She's had some great experiences on kayaks and paddle boards where she has encountered dolphins and seals.  Throughout this episode you'll quickly hear Nataliya's passion for life and why she is our Hero!
