About
Jaylene’s introduction to the automotive industry began in her final year of high
school at a local dealership as a detailer. Graduation brought her to the University
College of the Fraser Valley where anthropology and education were her anticipated
career path. However, her old Volvo had other plans. After repeatedly having to perform
her own diagnostics and repairs, it became evident that her career was about to take
a different direction.
In 2010, Jaylene completed her Red Seal qualification as an Automotive Service Technician
from the British Columbia Institute of Technology. Her career has spanned from a Volvo
specialty shop in BC to roles halfway around the world in New Zealand, Australia and
back again. Jaylene has continued to develop and expand her qualifications in the
automotive industry with manufacturer training programs. She also obtained her Commercial
Vehicle Inspection license.
Her approach to teaching comes from a passion for continued learning and the ability
to mentor those with a desire to explore opportunities in the automotive trade. Patience,
determination, hard work and critical thinking are traits she endeavours to instill
in her students for their success in an evolving and increasingly challenging industry.
