Experience and Projects
I am a Mechanical Engineering student at Lamar University from Houston, TX. I have retail management experience from 5 years in the auto parts industry as well as hands-on experience performing automotive repairs. My engineering experience consists of 4 internship rotations over 2 years at GE Aerospace, Bosch, and Volvo Trucks.
I pride myself in being a task-oriented, objective-driven team player. I readily collaborate with colleagues to complete timely objectives and solve unforeseen problems. I was able to utilize my unconventional background to during my internships to integrate efficiently within engineering teams and provide a unique perspective. I look forward to contributing to a sustainable future as an engineer in roles that challenge me and build upon my knowledge and skill set!
