EXPERIENCE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TECHNICIAN HEXPOL COMPOUNDING (SANTA FE SPRINGS,

CA)

5/2014-8/2014

Under a process engineer’s guidance, I was able to learn and oversee the chemical production of

rubber. I played an integral part of the rubber process in which I performed a thorough inspection on

rubber samples to determine if their properties met the customer’s specification by using various

machines and equipment. I lead a mini-project on finding ways the quality control process can be more

efficient. My experiment showed that a list of different rubber compounds could utilize reduced time in

testing and lower testing conditions and the company has used my recommendation ever since. I also

attended weekly production meeting with the head of each department and gave updates about the

laboratory and had the opportunity to go on a few technical sales call with the sales engineer.

PROCESS ENGINEER INTERN ONQUEST INC. (SAN DIMAS, CA)

6/2013-8/2013

I got to experience how the corporate world works by sitting into meetings and listening about budgets

and goals. I was also able to participate in the engineering team’s project by performing basic chemical

engineering calculations under the guidance of a senior process engineer. I also drafted engineering

datasheets on Excel while learning of the many process, equipment, and costs implemented in the

energy industry.

CHEMIST INTERN PLASKOLITE (COMPTON, CA)

6/2011-8/2011

I learned the importance of acrylic material in many consumer products. I had the opportunity to see the

actual chemical production of acrylic polymers. In the lab, I measured the melting flow rate of acrylic

samples to see if they met the standard to be mass-produced.

DATA ENTRY/MENTOR DIVISION OF ENGINEERING EDUCATION (USC)

1/2013-5/2013

In a team-based environment, I helped enter, perform simple analysis, and check for accuracy of data in

Excel for my employer. My employer focuses on developing technologies and methods for K-12

students and teacher training in the STEM fields. As part of her engineering education team, I was also

able to mentor young students of what it is like to pursue an engineering degree at a university.

OFFICE ASSISTANT OSTROW SCHOOL OF DENTISTRY (USC)

6/2012-8/2012

I helped assist the office staff with incoming phone calls, confirming appointments, photocopying,

running errands on campus, setting up refreshments, data entry, posting flyers, and other general office

work.

CASHIER USC BOOKSTORE (USC)

9/2011-5/2012

As a cashier, I greeted customers and provided customer assistance to the best of my knowledge. I

learned how to become more amiable and make small talk while serving customers at the register. Also,

I gained experience in being precise and professional by counting currency and swiping credit cards. I

also gained communication skills as I conversed with customers either in-person or through the phone.

Member of Society of Petroleum Engineers and American Institute of Chemical Engineer

LEADERSHIP

Amateur translator-I have been going to Mexico every summer for the past five summers on church

mission trips. We helped paint, build construction, and teach orphans. I served as the team’s translator

by mediating conversations while building relationships with people of different background.

Vacation Bible School Teacher/Leader- Every summer at my local church, I directed students in

performing science experiments. It was a great experience in learning how to be an effective teacher.

Although they were young children, it was beneficial to see kids learn something from my teachings.

USC Scout Outreach volunteer- I volunteer through a club on campus at a local elementary school and

help to teach and perform exciting science experiments in order to foster an exciting learning

environment to learn and pursue science as a career or major. Not only do the kids learn fun

experiments but I am also able to pursue my passion of giving back to the community while keeping up

with my own studies in chemical engineering.

USC Epic Movement Small Group Leader- Each week I lead a group discussion on a passage from the

Bible. I like to engage all members by not directly teaching but rather have an open discussion where

we can share our thoughts and opinions.
