Mechanical Engineering

To Whom It May Concern,

My reliability and ability to cope well with others has made me an

invaluable asset to my previous employers. I am an excellent problem solver

and analyst, and am a natural leader. I enjoy working with and learning

about many different types of machinery and equipment, and love working

with my hands.

I have practical experience with multiple modeling and analysis

softwares such as Pro Engineer, Autocad, Microstation, ANSYS, and Matlab

between previous internships, research and design projects, and coursework.

I actively participated in multiple clubs, and excelled in my courses,

including Finite Element Analysis, Aerodynamics, Heat Transfer, and two

courses in both Strength of Materials and Mechanical Design.

My previous experiences with NASA at the Johnson Space Center, TX,

enabled me to gain first hand experience in how large corporations run, and

what is expected of its employees. I spent over three months performing

under the same expectations of NASA employees as well as performing my

research experiment on NASA's zero gravity flight simulator. I also have

plenty of leadership experience, having been a member of my college's

Leadership Development Program, performing community service and

outreaches, and taking on major roles in organizations in which I

participate.

I look forward to being able to prove myself by bringing my vast

skill-set, leadership, teamwork, analysis capabilities via computer

software, knowledge and experience in the relevant subject materials to

bear, improving your company as a whole.

Seeking challenging career requiring a strong

work ethic, determination, and an analytical mindset.
