On this episode of With Her Two Hands, we step into the world of aviation with Kiki Ryan, a seasoned A&P mechanic whose passion for aircraft mechanics took flight with a Boeing 747 and spanned various models and military contracts. Kiki's journey from Arizona to New York, and then to the DMV area, has been filled with challenges and achievements, from maintaining commercial jets to working on Blackhawk helicopters. Despite stepping back due to health reasons, her spirit remains undimmed as she channels her precision and creativity into a crafting business, focusing on crochet and sculpting. Join us as Kiki shares insights from her high-flying career, her transition to crafting amidst treatment for Lyme disease, and how she keeps her spirits up through sports like hockey.
