Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII) announced today that a Newport News Shipbuilding division employee was recognized as an emerging leader by the Manufacturing Institute.

Jennifer Brady, a mechanical engineer, was selected to receive the Emerging Leader Award, which recognizes rising female talent currently employed in the manufacturing industry that has made significant contributions and excelled early in their career.

Brady began her a career at Newport News in June 2016 where she supported propulsion plant work on aircraft carriers. She also serves as a mentor through a program that pairs qualified individuals with elementary school-aged children in low-income areas.
