Upon her graduation from high school, Ms. Newcombe searched for a career and encountered an advertisement for sewing machine sales.

In her present position, Ms. Newcombe sells sewing machines and teaches others how to properly use their sewing products. She also offers troubleshooting and minor and major repairs, as well as certification courses and group and individual classes. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she began sewing and donating face masks for local essential workers. Following the temporary closure of her business, she recruited more than 40 members of the community to help her sew in addition to donate fabric and elastic, among other services. In the weeks since, Ms. Newcombe has provided more than 7,000 masks to essential workers, schools, first responders and nursing homes.
Ms. Newcombe was featured on a PBS segment for her sewing abilities. Additionally, the Roscommon Township Board developed a resolution in her honor. She has attributed her professional success to her mentor, Patricia Wallace, for teaching and guiding her over the years. In the near future, Ms. Newcombe plans to continue thriving on her current career path.
