Contributed as head Advisor on many projects regarding structural rigidity safety and material choice. In addition I gained significant managing experience when appointed project manager on several projects. I also gained experience in operating and maintaining heavy machinery including excavators, bulldozers, bobcats and forestry equipment.

In this position I instructed Physics I & II to freshmen and sophomore students as a "Tutoring Instructor" and "Study Group Leader". I also assisted with in class labs and recitations and prepared students for examinations. This position required a strong understanding of physics and an ability to effectively convey information.

My passion for automotive engineering drove me to get a short term job at an automotive repair shop. In doing so, I greatly expanded my automotive knowledge and became comfortable with most of the common tools found in a shop. It has also confirmed to me that I am very versatile and adaptive individual and can master new and unknown skills very quickly. This experience also gave me the confidence to perform several upgrades t my own car and also begin a track day project with some friends.
