Kyrie M. Blue ('25)

I am a senior at Quincy High School, set to graduate in 2025.

I love welding, and creating things that interest me. I also enjoy social activism and poetry, some of my best memories are from People of Color Student Union, Girl Scouts, and Poetry Club.

I also participate in Quincy High’s athletic programs, and was a 3 sport athletic for the majority of my high school career. I’ve played basketball, volleyball, and golf

Personal Skills

2D & 3D CAD Programming

I am well-versed in the 3D and 2D CAD System used in my metal fabrication shop at Quincy High School. I have used the system for the last three years and it has helped me create an array of projects, such as fire pits for anniversaries, roses for Mother’s Day, and a light house-shaped container for the ashes of a beloved grandfather.

CNC Designing

For me, CAD programming and CNC designing go hand in hand. I use both systems collaboratively to turn the 2D into 3D. Some examples of this ability are a triceratops statue I designed and built for the incoming Welding 1 students, a lighthouse I am currently designing to hold a friend’s grandfathers ashes, and the 8 foot long raptor. I have created for the Vocational Technology Student of the Year Award.

MIG & Stick Welding

MIG Welding (professionally known as Gas Metal Arc Welding) was the first welding process I learned in my career, and I am now fully AWS-Certified. I am currently completing my AWS-certification for Stick Welding, and is the process I used the most during my summer internship at Boston's largest mechanical construction firm, Cannistraro.
