ASEC Educational Interpreter Kelsy had a unique and unforgettable opportunity! 🌟 She shared: "As an educational interpreter, most of my days are spent immersed in classroom content. Today, however, I had the unique opportunity to interpret for Steiger Manufacturing—and what an incredible experience it was. I was truly inspired by the dedication, passion, and determination of the individuals who turned a tractor built from used materials into the legacy it is today. Hearing the story behind ‘Grandpa’s Tractor’ was deeply moving, and it will always hold a special place in my heart." We’re so proud of Kelsy and so grateful for the meaningful work she does every day!💚#WeAreASEC #StrongerTogether
