I am a graduate of the University of North Texas with a B.S in Mechanical Engineering. Additionally, I have seventeen years of experience in automotive dirt racing. What many consider a hobby has opened a door to obtain hands on experience in my field of work. Over the past three years I have worked with children, and perhaps children have nothing to do with the degree I am seeking but it has helped shape me into a leader. When it comes to keeping a classroom in order you must be actively engaged in the student’s life where they trust and respect you. That is how you effectively educate your students. In fact, leadership characteristics are very important in every task of life. I believe this form of employment has also given me the ability to work under pressure. These qualities are ones I hope to use to develop more innovative ways of everyday life. My dream job is to one day use my life skills such as leadership, teamwork, selflessness, work-ethic, and ambition to innovate the world we live in. I would love to one-day work on a defense program and help develop chemical weapons to defend our country.
