🔧 Kylie Kennedy – Finalist in the Technicians/Estimator category
Currently a 3rd year Spray Painting Apprentice, Kylie is showing incredible growth and talent in her trade.

📦 Makayla Smith – Finalist in the Parts Manager category
A key part of our team, Makayla’s leadership and dedication keeps things running smoothly every day.

Both Kylie and Makayla have been with Fortress long term, and we’ve loved watching them grow into the exceptional professionals they are today.

👏 To be nominated is an achievement — but to stand out among hundreds of applicants and become finalists? That’s a huge win!

You’re both an inspiration and a true reflection of our commitment to building talent from within. 💙
We’re so proud of you, Kylie and Makayla! #WomenInCollision #FortressFamily#FutureLeaders #IndustryPride
