The Baja SAE® competition sponsored by SAE International® challenges engineering students to design and build an offroad vehicle that will survive the severe punishment of rough terrain and in some competitions, water. As in real work situations, these future engineers work together as a team to discover and resolve technical challenges in design, testing, manufacturing, and business issues. The most rugged of all the competitions, Baja SAE also gives students the first-hand challenge of pursuing their passion while managing real-life demands and priorities. Each team aims to design and build a prototype of an all-weather, rugged, single-seat, off-road recreational vehicle intended for sale to the nonprofessional weekend off-road enthusiast.

Went to different locations for big projects to lay sod. Interacted with landscaping employers as well as my coworkers. Through experimenting, I found the most efficient way to pick up and put down. I know how to cut sod with grass sheers to shape the client's desires, especially for round mulch beds. I can operate a sod harvester as well as stack the rolls on skids that go to the installs.

I worked on the farm and helped bale hay in the summer. I was capable of operating heavy machinery and vehicles such as a tractor (controls the attachments connected to it), a crankshaft tow hitch (raises hay into high parts of the barn), a conditioner mower (cuts the hay), and a hay baler (makes bales of hay). I stacked the hay in barns of our clients and helped deliver with my boss. Met with clients and surpassed their expectations.

As a soccer trainer, I taught kids (ages 7-15) how to improve their soccer skills as well as develop player encouragement. I focused on goalkeeping but, was very skilled in training other positions. I interacted with the parents to ensure their wants and needs.
