Assisting with and leading several sections of the freshman introduction to engineering lab and design project.

Falls Church, Va, Us

• Performed tolerance stack analysis for 24 mounting bracket holes on first and second stages of rocket motor• Designed custom bolts, created engineering drawings, PMI, and parts lists, and underwent peer review• Supported rocket motor assembly by modeling thermal protection systems, managing large scale assemblies

Phoenix, Az, Us

• Supported development of several electromechanical actuators for use in deep-space applications• Supported concept design development for Fluid Transfer Coupling actuator by assisting with trade studies, preparing 3D printed prototype to demonstrate new compliance mechanism, and modeling parts in Siemens NX• Wrote several sections of final concept study report, including weight, performance, and stress analysis • Compiled radiated emissions test data, compared data to NASA standards to locate exceedances, and quantified effects of emission damping modifications to ensure requirements compliance

I tutored students from all backgrounds and disciplines in math, science, physics, and engineering courses. I tailored how I explained problems and gave suggestions based on my assessment of their learning style and level of understanding, in order to assure they always left with a firm grasp of the subject.

• Redesigned EMILY rescue boats to provide high-purity water sampling capabilities by researching existing technology, designing and fabricating necessary parts using Markforged 3D printer, testing a prototype, and providing a comprehensive bill of materials• Created standardized procedures and documentation for creating complex electrical assemblies using feedback from design and production teams• Modeled and analyzed various 3D parts using CAD software(Mechanical Engineering intern for Tucson-based company Hydronalix that specializes in design and manufacture of unmanned aquatic rescue vehicles. Interned with the company for the summers of 2017 and 2018.)

• Designed, modeled, printed, and assembled scale prototype of a new product line for submission to US Department of Defense• Managed transition of modeled parts library from Solidworks to Fusion360 • Composed technical drawings and 3D assemblies for new and existing designs(Mechanical Engineering intern for Tucson-based company Hydronalix that specializes in design and manufacture of unmanned aquatic rescue vehicles. Interned with the company for the summers of 2017 and 2018.)

Prepared food, performed various cleaning duties around the restaurant, served customers, and generally provided a high level of customer service.
