Misty Hellmers
Welding Instructor
Lacombe Campus
Welding Instructor Owen Brown encouraged Misty Hellmers to consider a career in welding after he happened to see where she had demonstrated her ambidexterity by mirror-writing her name on a white board. After some slight hesitation, Misty enrolled in the Welding Program at NTCC, taking most of her classes at Fontainebleau and Pearl River High Schools as the Lacombe STEM Campus had not yet opened. She completed her Technical Diploma in 2018 and worked briefly for the City of Slidell, then returned to NTCC to work with Owen Brown as an assistant in the Welding Program. Since then, Missy has worked her way up to a position as Adjunct Faculty. She’s back at Fontainebleau High School, this time as the Instructor for the Reboot Louisiana “Women in Welding” program.
Misty describes herself as an energetic team player. Her favorite part of teaching is “seeing the lightbulb come on” when students learn a new skill, knowing that they are empowered by that newly acquired knowledge. When she’s not at NTCC, Misty enjoys the creative side of her trade, crafting custom fire pits.
"I love being at NTCC and helping the Welding Program grow. I plan to be here for a long time!” ~ ~~ Misty

Faith Woods
Maritime Program, Lacombe Campus
Faith Woods’ career journey started in high school where she took a welding class where she was introduced to all of the high-demand careers in skilled trades. Maritime was the one that interested her the most and with her school counselor’s encouragement, she applied for a full Maritime Scholarship at Northshore Technical Community College.
After being accepted to NTCC and receiving the Edward Hands Memorial Endowed scholarship, she considered all of the options in the field and decided to study to become a tug boat captain. After graduating NTCC, Woods plans to join the United States Coast Guard to train in Maritime Enforcement and get her captain’s license.
