Aided students in writing MATLAB based programs to solve real world problems.

Advised and mentored students as they began their college career to ease the transition from high school.

Redesigned a ratchet mechanism to improve acoustics and functionality to be incorporated into a device to prevent tissue damage.Designed a fixture, executed testing, analyzed results, and performed a GR&R to determine and establish several device requirements.Coordinated testing and analyzed results for a study to determine the effect of autoclave cycles on handle attachment methods.Oversaw 5 co-op committees, established co-op onboarding instructions, and managed the co-op website as co-op coordinator.

Incorporated the DMADVV process to provide a recommendation on a redesign of a switch mechanism in order to prevent device failures.Performed mechanical testing to determine the tactile ratio of a dome switch in order to prevent continuous activation that was implemented through a CAPA.Designed, performed, and analyzed an ergonomic usability study to compare the output forces of two functionally comparable devices.Led and organized networking event that allowed co-ops to get to know full-time employees and ask advice regarding their futures.

Performed pyrometer tissue testing to determine the effect of different thermal energy output parameters on porcine vessels.Performed statistical analysis on tissue testing results using Minitab to determine the ideal parameters for an energy-output algorithm.Programmed a neural network for an energy-output algorithm using MATLAB that is able to adjust energy output based on previous testing in order to minimize thermal tissue damage.Assisted in performing device verification testing in a live porcine environment to ensure device functionality.Led the co-op community service committee that planned 6 volunteer events for co-ops to participate in throughout the semester.

Independently performed mechanical tensile, compression, and leak verification testing for 6,000 devices.Documented, reported, and corrected failure modes of a test method that resulted in more efficient testing.Met project goals and deadlines by working with team members and other employees to prioritize and plan testing.

Coordinated activities and supervised a cabin of 7-15 girls at a traditional overnight camp.Led activities including target shooting, photography, and canoeing.
