Where Are They Now Wednesday: From the welding lab to a career in manufacturing engineering, Adisyn Donk’s ('26) journey shows what’s possible when education and opportunity come together.

Adisyn earned her degree in mechanical and manufacturing engineering technology after starting her education at Gateway Community and Technical College. Today, she works at Mazak North America, where an early co-op experience helped launch her career.

Her story also includes study abroad experiences in Australia and the United Kingdom and getting involved on campus as a member of NKU’s stunt team.
