Teaching is the best thing I ever did for my own riding ability, and I apply this to my learning in other subjects. Teaching beginning motorcyclists continues to be a deeply fulfilling part of my life. Every time I step on the range, I feel like I am learning as much or more than I was on day one. I look for this feeling of growth and empowerment in every job I take, and in my education.– Full-time instructor: 2017-2021, part-time/"for fun" instructor 2022 onwards.–Managed 12-person riding classes, making critical safety decisions daily.– Performed mechanical and electrical troubleshooting on motorcycles on and off the riding range.– Taught 3hr classroom sessions with up to 24 students, in person (2017-2020) and remotely (2020-present).– Taught complex material to new and experienced students using science-based teaching methods.– Sought and implemented external feedback on regular basis to improve coaching.– Analyzed time-wasting areas and implemented changes to give students more practice time. – Decreased student idle time in cornering exercises by over 50%. – Increased number of practice runs in braking exercises from 1.5 to 4 runs/minute.–Received the state program's 2020 MTXE Award for excellence in teaching and commitment to professional development.– Identified the root cause of students' problems and improved their outcomes by communicating effectively.

As an engineering co-op I regularly carried out the following responsibilities:–Collaborated across multi-disciplinary teams to design mechanical systems that support the companies core business.–Sought regular and early feedback from internal and external design stakeholders, and iterated quickly to save time, effort, and cost.–Connected with vendors to identify alternative or improved component options.–Coordinated projects by facilitating material flow to and from sub-vendors, warehouse, purchasing, shipping.–Provided documentation and expertise to sub-vendors, documenting and incorporating their feedback and recommendations into future design iterations.–Applied my curiosity to gain a system-level understanding of our processes, allowing me to identify and address root-causes of bottlenecks I was experiencing.–Facilitated installation of machinery abroad for 3.5 months. Responsibilities in the field included inspecting quality of locally sourced parts, training local workers on installation and testing, and managing emergent challenges safely.

Annual volunteer effort for a youth leadership program in Vermont. Whether I attend in person or not, I manage the planning, budgeting, and documentation for the program's kitchen.– Designed a tracking sheet to manage the kitchen planning and operation. The spreadsheet serves as a start-to-finish system supporting the kitchen as they serve meals to 50+ people for 5 days each year. Features include: – Automatically calculates and displays dietary restriction numbers for each meal. – Automatically calculates budget per meal based on multiple variables. – Automatically calculates caloric needs per meal to ensure no shortages. – Automatically organizes shopping lists by category to save time and money shopping. – Provides tracking tools that allow planners to see trends and improve each year.Results: – The kitchen has stayed below budget of $10/person/day since 2016 despite rising food costs. – Number of shopping trips have been reduced by 50% due to improved planning.

Virginia, Minnesota, United States

–Reduced weight of an Aagard Group aluminum picker robot by 45% while maintaining a safety factor of over 6.–Planned and lead client meetings and design reviews in front of stakeholders and evaluators.–Modeled and analyzed assemblies with FEA in Solidworks and conducted manual fatigue analysis.–Presented TED-style talk on-stage on a topic of my choice (recognizing imposter syndrome)

Aptos, California, United States

I took this role primarily for the enjoyment, and to give back to the STEM Center that has given me so much. It is one thing to know a subject, and quite another to explain it to somebody experiencing it for the first time. When I am able to do that successfully, I know that I actually know the subject deeply. I don't think I will ever get tired of the challenge of teaching. I also jumped at the opportunity to spend more time working with the best physics and circuits teacher I've ever seen.– TA for Carlos Figueroa's Physics 4B class. Tutored students in breakout rooms 5-8 hrs/week, fall 2021.– Tutored math, chem, physics, and engineering at Cabrillo STEM Center 4-10 hrs/week, fall 2021.
