I worked in a group called RFDS. RFDS is a group that builds solutions for cell sites according to the customers specifications. I worked to assure the quality of work coming from our engineers in Mexico while also keeping track of projects and assignments. Recently, I presented to the Director Engineering Operations, reporting how the group is doing.

During this particular 6 or 7 months of time at Ericsson, I worked along side two other interns in two different departments. The first being RNDCIQ. Here, the two interns and I developed a Six Sigma project to help improve the workflow of the area and presented it to the Director of Engineering. Later on, we moved to RFDS where we learned how to build an RFDS according to the specifications given by the costumer.

As an Office Assistant at SMU, I helped process paperwork and perform actions necessary for student enrollment. I also later helped my boss with student orientation called AARO. This is the first experience incoming students have with SMU.
