Carla and Heather both work at Toyota; Carla on manufacturing side, and Heather on R&D side. The two were brought together through a shared interest in competing in the Rebelle Rally with Team Toyota. An R&D leader saw this as a unique opportunity for both mentoring and reverse mentoring by including an executive on the team and connected the pair. They hit it off quick and hit the ground running, meeting in person for the first time at RebelleU.

The only constant in life is change.
Even outside of work, I am surrounded by automotive engineers. Within my immediate family 4 different automotive OEMs are represented. I think it's safe to say a lot of our conversations revolve around cars...
It's the best game I've ever played. I'm in it for the challenge, pushing past my personal "limits", experiencing the journey with an incredible community, and having the unique opportunity to disconnect from modern technology.

It's not the strongest of the species that survives, not the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.
My favorite way to relax is with a good book, while listening to white noise, i.e. vacuum cleaner
I wanted to take this opportunity to get to know and share my experience with the next generation of female leaders across the Toyota organization.
I am inspired everyday by the awesome team members that I interact with at Toyota. They are strong, resilient and truly motivated to do the right thing.
Game of Thrones, enough said 🙂
Rebelle Rally for sure!
