Boler-Davis, who earned her bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, and a master’s in engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, says she’s had great company support that has helped her earn the opportunity to work at every department in an assembly plant.

"I said ‘Hey look, I think I want to be a plant manager, but I really don’t know what that means and I need to get into a plant so that I know if it’s right for me,’" she explains. "I went to an assembly plant in Detroit as a supervisor, so when I say that I started at the bottom and worked my way up, I did."

"I get so many e-mails and phone calls from people that I don’t know who say that this [appointment] has been significant for them because it shows that if I can make it in an environment where we don’t typically have a lot of women, they can too," says Boler-Davis, who begins her new position this week at the GM plant in Arlington, TX. "Being a female, which I don’t look at that as a negative, I bring different qualities and I look at things differently. You can be successful in manufacturing, a male-dominated field. That’s what’s important to me, I look at that significance more so than being the first African-American female."
