PERSONAL STATEMENT

My 2 years of experience in the automation industry gave me an invaluable experience in overcoming challenges, such as short deadlines, heavy multi-tasking and a high paced environment. In this role I was able to apply my academic knowledge to real world problems with tangible results and fulfill multiple roles at a growing company. In the next chapter of my career I am looking to expand my skillset and gain experience in designing complex machinery and to approach challenges with an innovator's mindset.
