  • New article, easily long enough, well-written, and no neutrality issues. All statements in the article have inline citations, and the sources used appear to be reliable. I think the first hook is the most interesting; it is cited to a reliable source. (You could try and jam in an additional fact – e.g. that she worked in her father's machine shop as a child, or she started off studying home economics – but it isn't essential and up to the nominator if they want to do so.) QPQ is done. All in all, a good new article about an occupation that I would assume hasn't received a lot of coverage on Wikipedia. Ivar the Boneful (talk) 17:20, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
