EXPERIENCE

I have worked throughout my college career to ensure I gained the essential skills that aren't taught within an engineering degree. The companies I worked for range from small scale start-ups to large million dollar businesses. My experiences have helped prepare me for my career as an engineer. Below are the work and service experiences I have had and my duties within the roles I held.
