I am interested in obtaining a full-time position will utilize acquired knowledge from my

collective work experience and from my five-year chemical engineering degree.

Skills

Project/Process Design and Management

• Nearly three years of experience in designing, building, optimizing, testing, and

presenting industrial processes and procedures as well as small scale prototypes and

simulations. Examples include improved processes to vacuum debinding and sintering

furnaces, an reorganized floor plan to optimize equipment layout and flow, a solar-

powered steam boiler, a two-stage chemical reactor, and an acrylic acid chemical plant

with parameters.

speeches. Design and Management Projects mentioned above also involved working in

groups and giving presentations that were sometimes hours long and in front of hundreds

of people.
