She added that it was a great experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI made some great connections with the community,\u201d said Lynch. \u201cHope, Kathryn, and Cathy are incredible mentors that I\u2019ve looked up to for the past year of my life. Honestly, I didn\u2019t really know what the chamber did going into it, but I knew that it was an important part of our community. It\u2019s just been so incredible to see how much they truly do and how much it can truly change someone\u2019s life.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That experience didn\u2019t just deepen her appreciation for Tullahoma \u2014 it helped her see how her future career could fit into the community she grew up in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt not only helped me appreciate Tullahoma more, but also showed me the different opportunities that my future career has in Tullahoma,\u201d she added. \u201cI\u2019m hoping to be an aerospace engineer, and obviously, with the Air Force Base and UTSI right next door, I knew that was always a possibility. It helped me realize that I can actually come back to Tullahoma almost immediately after graduating if I want to, and showed that I really do have a great future waiting for me in Tullahoma.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/tullahoma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/09\/submitted-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/tullahoma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/09\/submitted-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/tullahoma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/09\/submitted-1-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/tullahoma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/09\/submitted-1-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo submitted by Maggie Lynch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A LOVE OF ENGINEERING\u00a0<\/strong><br>Lynch\u2019s passion for engineering didn\u2019t appear suddenly. It was nurtured from childhood, shaped by a family that loved numbers, problem\u2011solving, and curiosity.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBoth my grandfathers were engineers. My dad is a math teacher, and he loves STEM. So, I just immediately took an interest in it,\u201d she said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it was a freshman\u2011year class at Tullahoma High School that truly set her path.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn high school, I took a CAD (computer\u2011aided design) class with Mr. Randy Edwards, and that solidified that passion that I had. He was such an incredible teacher, and he had so much excitement every day coming into class, and that got me excited about my future.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Lynch, Edwards postponed his retirement by a year to help Lynch and a small group of students earn their certification in CAD engineering software. Edwards\u2019 zest for teaching and supporting her and her classmates is something she continues to be grateful for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt just completely changed my view of engineering in general and made me officially decide that\u2019s what I wanted to do,\u201d said Lynch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/tullahoma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/09\/2-3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/tullahoma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/09\/2-3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/tullahoma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/09\/2-3-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/tullahoma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/09\/2-3-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photography by Ashleigh Newnes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>THE NEXT CHAPTER\u00a0<\/strong><br>Now, as she prepares to study aerospace engineering at UT Knoxville, she already has her sights set on hypersonics \u2014 a field that blends innovation, physics, and the kind of challenge she thrives on.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her success, she said, is rooted in the people who believed in her.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy parents, first of all.
