Facilitated student discussion of critical concepts relating to polycrystalline grain analysis, metallic sample preparation, metal failure analysis, and powders processing. Instructed students on proper use of instruments such as polishing wheels, universal load frames (ULF/Instron), Rockwell hardness tests, Vickers hardness tests, scanning electron.

Managed a team of 25 multidisciplinary team members to iterate on previous chassis designs for a new mock Mars rover that will be stable, fast, and be able to outperform other teams at the University Rover Challenge. Organized deliverables and allocated tasks efficiently to team members to meet deadlines through detailed documentation and clear.

First year to implement carbon fiber composites on the Husky Robotics team. Laid the foundation for future years by developing the team’s abilities and connections with composites lab engineers and industries. Worked continuously with a team of 10 members in material tradeoffs in design between carbon fiber and aluminum. Conducted wet-layup fabrications.

Placed 3rd in the United States and 9th internationally at the 2017 University Rover Challenge. Manufactured parts for the chassis and robotic arm on a timely schedule. Conducted risk analysis on the chassis to minimize potential damage. Responsible for designing feasible mounting systems for cameras that optimized visual feedback. Redesigned the hinge for.

Selected top second-source adhesive candidates for senior capstone project. Conducted thermal and mechanical tests on viable adhesive alternatives in accordance with ASTM standards. Measured flammability parameters such as drip time, flame time, and burn length for FAA compliance.

Bellevue, WA

Worked with a team of managers and associates to handle high-traffic hours effectively. Problem-solved difficult orders, returns, and transactions for the best interest of the customer. Provided genuine, honest service to go above and beyond customers’ expectations. Trusted by management to train new employees on the registers and point-of-sale systems..

Seattle, Washington

Trained in routine lab processes such as cleaving graphene for use as a substrate. Attended lab meetings to discuss project goals and progress. Developed reports for review by lab researchers and advisors. Characterized peptide nucleation and growth through atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Gwyddion image analysis software. Created calibration curves for.

Worked with experienced Boeing employees for junior capstone project. Developed a test matrix of ASTM standards for the selection of composite materials in hypothetical applications in commercial aircraft. Constructed composite laminates and conducted mechanical tests on coupons according to selected ASTM standards.

Designed a science fair project about the effect of coefficients of friction that could be understood by 5th graders, but still accurately teach important physical concepts. Diligently provided each student with a tailored learning experience based on their personality, interests, and level of understanding.
