Consistently demonstrate a positive, cooperative, and supportive attitude toward others, and a commitment to excellence inspiring motivation and productive work habits. Utilize instructional strategies to assist the student in meeting the objectives of the course including but not limited to cooperative learning, experiential learning, writing for learning, and critical thinking initiatives. Promptly and accurately record and report of student data and grade reports to the Department Chair, Dean, and Students. Provide opportunities that support students' learning goals by taking into account their needs, abilities, academic, and social support, and by being available to accommodate individual differences.Achievements• Basic AutoCAD – Taught basic commands, icons, menus, and command scripting• Intermediate AutoCAD – Taught advanced commands and command grouping to expedite workflow as well as introduced automation of repetitive tasks• Machine Drafting – Prepared students for the fast paced world of engineering by providing them with a lettering, sketching, and an AutoCAD assignment each night• Civil Drafting- Taught students how to estimate distance through pacing, create site plans, draft lot surveys, subdivision plats, and contour maps

Consulting provides the opportunity to be commissioned by many clients to produce drawings of their idea or vision to be used as a visual guide during the construction process. In addition to creating sketches and construction drawings for residential and commercial properties, concept drawings for subdivisions were also provided. In Architectural drafting the primary focus was on new construction, creating drawings of buildings, their structural components and the preparation of wiring schematics used to install electrical equipment and wiring in many kinds of structures utilizing both manual drawing skills as wells as AutoCAD to create two-dimensional drawings and or three-dimensional models and renderings of the finished project. Conferring with clients, architects, and engineers helped gain an understanding of the scope and requirements of the construction project. The ability to interpret the vision of many clients and translate them into realistic drawings while following directions, paying close attention to detail on multiple projects while meeting deadlines was paramount.Achievements • Haynes-Carney Water District – As-Built drawings for Thomas M. Vickery• Hurricane Homes – Modular Domino’s drive up and carry out

Used architectural and construction background to create structural plans following all building, fire, and safety codes as well as complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) when required. Designing in the wood truss industry entailed using E-Frame to design roof and floor systems made of trusses and engineered lumber in wood-framed structures, Miitek 2020 to design, engineer, and run Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on the roof and floor trusses, and the Keymark software suite to analyze the engineered lumber support systems. Answering the production team’s questions, providing bids large projects, and traveling to construction sites to troubleshoot on-site problems and or consult with contractors to ensure that projects are finished on time and under budget.Achievements• Louisville Junior Academy – Conducted FEA on the engineered lumber• Fort Knox – Barracks’ floor trusses• Sleep Inn – Roof trusses

Use AutoCAD in the preparation of design documents, drawings, and details for built-up, modified bitumen, single ply, sprayed polyurethane foam, metal, tile, slate, and shingle, roof replacement and repair projects. Create scaled analysis drawings showing all roof top equipment and penetrations and embed condition photographs of defects and anomalies to assist in identifying their location and severity. Create scalable design drawings consisting of the underlying structural deck, expansion joints, thermal insulation, the roof membrane, sheet metal and membrane flashing details around the perimeter and roof top equipment, drainage components, parapet walls and copings in accordance with all federal, state, and local building codes and requirements as well as the building owner’s energy savings requirements and policies.Achievements• Titan Stadium – Interactive roof analysis drawing displaying one possibility of collaborative roof asset management• Bridgestone Arena – Analysis drawing of the roof system

Civil drafting to include preparing survey drawings, assisting in boundary calculations, helping draft legal descriptions, and the generation of topographical and relief maps used to guide construction of infrastructure projects such as roads for new subdivisions, water shed and erosion control projects, and water systems. Working with architects, construction professionals and land surveyors, to ensure that site topographic conditions were adequate for construction projects and location specifications were in adherence with government laws and regulations. The ability to visualize objects, distances, and shapes with precision and being adept at using computer technology allowed me to display imagery and information in ways that could be used by professionals in other industries. As a land surveyor assistant working under the supervision of a licensed land surveyor "walking the line" and setting stakes or pins in places indicated, locating corner pins or other geographic indicators, clearing away brush to provide line of sight back to the instruments used by the surveyor, recording and entering data into databases, and making sketches and CAD drawings of survey sites allowed me to utilize civil drafting add-ons to AutoCAD and hone my geometry, trigonometry, problem-solving, and analytical skills. Achievements• New water system for Haynes-Carney Water District - preliminary drawings, flow calculations, and material take-off• Quail Ridge subdivision - survey, plat, and watershed drawings• Palmetto Pointe subdivision - survey, plat, wetland mitigation preparation
