I worked at Fuller's Music Store in New Bern From May, 2021 to May, 2022. This experence taught me how to manage deliveries and maintain retail stock. My expertise was in managing and maintaining the instruments. I was in charge of cleaning used instruments and preparing them for re-sale along with preparing new instruments; both student and professional. During the Covid-19, pandemic I was in charge of manually filling mask orders which was sometimes thousands of individually packaged product. I worked as a mechanical engineering intern with Fleet Readiness Center East (FRCE) during the summer of 2022. This experience gave me skills in getting quotes for aviation projects related to C-130 support equipment. I was able to use CAD to design a successor to the old C-130 tie-down set, used in high wind situations. I also reviewed procedural documents for errors to ensure artisans are given the right information for a job. I worked as a materials engineering intern with FRCE during the summer of 2023 and 2024. During this time, I worked with other materials engineers to learn about corrosion inhibiting processes, corrosion stripping processes, non-destructive technology, chemical analysis, and failure analysis. I was assigned for both rotations to do research on magnesium treatment to act as a potential successor to the current solution if the chemical needed to make the solution ran out before magnesium was entirely replaced by composites. This research gave me experience making these magnesium treatment solutions from the ground up, using these to get a high-grade treatment on magnesium specimen. For my second rotation, I additionally worked with the NDI specialist to co-write and research post-penetrant testing (PT) etchants and blasting processes on various metals. Our published reports can help decide a procedure for off-site etching to preform a crack detection test with PT if the FRCE etchant is not available. I worked with international paper in pulp manufacturing. During this internship, I was assigned 20+ projects across the woodyard, pulping stage, bleaching stage, and ClO2 generation. I was able to determine where unallocated ClO2 was in the pipelines and was able to replace faulty valves. I was able to recreate the 5S auditing procedure for over half of the entire mill using VBA in excel to combine manually imputed text and sort it by the shift in charge of cleaning the area and importance. This new process would simplify hours of manual work into about 5 minutes without any prior experience using the software.
