Whitehouse, Texas

Demonstrate numeric functions, equations, and various mathematical principles to math students. Demonstrate physical concepts and logical problem solving using various mathematical principles to physics students. Cause students to think hypothetically, figure out causes and effects, understand mathematical structures, estimate and verify solutions. Plan, assess, and assign lessons; manage and grade tests; and maintain classroom discipline. Observe and evaluate the performance of each student and use assessment methods to judge overall progress. Engage students in discussions, provide coherent lectures, and tutor students in group settings and individually using proper learning strategies.

Peoria, Illinois Area

Performed calibrations and calibration checks of instrumentation in diesel engine test cells at a Caterpillar research and development center. Coordinated work activities with other departments. Wrote, followed, annotated, tracked, and closed work orders. Created work packages. Wrote task procedures that created consistent, high quality work; use of guidelines prevented recurring cell shutdowns caused by mispositioned fuel valves. Created a standard set of Excel calibration spreadsheets. Reduced time to create spreadsheets from up to 4 hours to 1 minute. Led green belt projects for creating task procedures for cell calibration and engine intake air flow calibration. Received 2 pay raises in one year and a promotion ahead of the usual 1 year time table. Led 2 Six Sigma projects estimated to increase Caterpillar profitability by $2 million.
