Harrisonburg, Virginia

Responsible for managing the fabrication lab by assisting students in wood/metal working. Maintained lab in cleanliness and order and is responsible for handling any injuries that occur in the lab. I would assist students in how to use certain tools including handsaws, jig saws, circular saws, drills, and others. I have also been trained by the university in how to use a lathe and mill machine for metalworking.
