Memberships: Student member of PCI (Prestressed Concrete Institute) and ACI (American Concrete Institute)

School Projects:

Big Beam Competition: Worked with team to design a 20 ft. long prestressed concrete beam that would fail at a specific loading with the least

amount of error. Referenced AASHTO manual for beam’s cross-section design. The design required calculating shear and flexural strength, estimating

deflection of beam, coming up with a concrete mix, determining vertical stirrup and draped tendon placement, and much more to determine a good design.

Visited casting site and helped with the testing of the concrete mix and trowelling concrete in casting frame.

Design of LEED certified, single-family home: Individually responsible for the Materials & Resources aspect of LEED certification.

Implemented advanced framing techniques to the design of exterior walls, used AutoCAD to compose detailed framing documents, crea ted a cut list and

lumber order table, utilized environmentally preferable materials throughout the house, estimated the total cons truction waste of project, devised waste

management plan for waste reduction and diversion, and estimated construction costs considering labor and materials.

ASCE Live Load Proposal for a Retractable Roof: Researched ASCE building codes for standard loads considered in roof design.

Examined the design of existing stadia retractable roofs to determine the live loads accounted for. Proposed live loads to be considered for the design of a

retractable stadium roof in central Ohio according to ASCE code format.

Subsurface Storage/Infiltration System Proposal: Project team proposed the installation of a subsurface storage and infiltration system for

the Olentangy River Wetland parking lot. Group researched the amount of precipitation for the area, determined the amount of runoff due to the impervious

surface of the parking lot, examined the slope of the lot, found the direction of water flow, calculated the size of the syst em needed to withstand a 100-year

storm, and estimated the cost of labor and materials for installing the system.

Design of water treatment plant: Team had to design a water treatment plant of our choice. Individual responsibilities included design of pipe

layout, the size and location of storage/handling facilities, and specifications for chemi cals used in treatment process.

Subdivision Design in AutoCAD: Designed a housing development in a select parcel of land. Had to determine the lot and house sizes to make

subdivision marketable in comparison to the surrounding area. Costs for roadway and house construction had to be considered along with land value.

US-315 S to I-270 W On-ramp Design in AutoCAD: Did an aerial, profile, and cross-section view of on-ramp connecting both highways.

Had to select a reasonable grade for on-ramp to connect highways that were at different elevations. Marked stations every 100 ft. along ramp.

Finite Element Program: Created extensive program using MATLAB to solve both one and two dimensional initial boundary value problems using

the Finite Element Method.

Work Experience:

ODSA (Ohio Development Service Agency) – Office of Energy [02/13 – Present]

Position: Intern

o I assist staff on various energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. I examine the technical aspects of reports to conf irm that measurements

and data are correct. I propose new project ideas and provide input on energy programs. I make on -site visits of projects to verify that

construction is in line with that detailed in agreements.

(Ohio Department of Transportation) – Office of Facilities Position: Intern [01/13 – 02/13]

ODOT

o Scanned and copied ODOT reports to computer in PDF format.

[05/12 – 09/12]

Kumon Learning Center Position: Assistant Instructor

o Supervised the operation of the tutoring center when the head instructor was absent. I oversaw the teachers and students, and evaluated each

student’s progress. I discussed student goals with parents and developed appropriate biweekly lesson plans. I also tutored st udents in all levels of

math and reading, but specifically calculus.

[10/07 – 03/12]

The Guitammer Company Position: Assistant Warehouse Manager

o I organized warehouse, took regular inventory of warehouse stock supply, tested products, exchanged out electrical hardware, soldered electrical

components, and helped with shipping and receiving.
