Summary

I'm a detail-oriented engineering student with hands-on experience using CAD software like SolidWorks, Fusion 360, and Autodesk Inventor. I'm skilled in MATLAB and Mathcad and have practical experience with machine monitoring and maintenance. I work well in teams, manage my time effectively, and adapt quickly in fast-paced environments. I'm excited to apply my technical skills and contribute to meaningful engineering projects through an internship.

Affiliations

  • Livestock handling / Animal husbandry. I enjoy being able to help take life into this world and ensure a good quality of life for my animals.
  • Machine maintenance. although it is part of my role on the farm, I do thoroughly enjoy it. It allows me to get a hands on experience with machinery which i think will be an essential skill in the workplace when i could be designing parts for these machines.
  • Volunteering. After working at new deer show a few summers ago I decided to join the show committee so that I could help make sure that the show ran smoothly every year. Last year I was made a marquee convener for the show which entails erecting and taking down the marquees and organizing which stalls can go where for the show days.
