Founder, Chief Wellness Welder
YPIC Inc

Shanen Aranmor, MS, CWI/CWE, a strong advocate of the skilled trades, has devoted the last decade to building interest and credibility for American manufacturing and fabrication. Former college professor of wellness turned administrator, Shanen realized she wasn't meant to push papers thus returned to school to earn degrees in welding and industrial technology. Her relationship with SkillsUSA began as a national welding fabrication competitor and evolved into the National Technical Chair for Welding Sculpture. Shanen's passion for welding and quality control led her to Miller Electric, where she served as Western Regional Trainer for six years, teaching welding processes across North America. In 2017, Shanen founded Weld Like a Girl, offering classes to the public, large-scale welding projects to benefit the community and welder qualification services. A member of Project MFG, Shanen is part of a team backed by the US DOD promoting manufacturing, inspiring youth and elevating trades to address our skilled trades crisis. As lead CWI, she helps grant cash awards more than $200K as featured on Clash of Trades on YouTube. As host of The Money Machine: It's All About the Trades on the JUL-TV network, Shanen highlighted various careers helping make the trades cool again.
