● Proficient in Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) per ANSI Y14.5.

● Practical skill and knowledge with ANSYS Finite Element Analysis program.

● Experience with CNC programming for mill, lathe, and plasma machines for practical knowledge of tooling design and limitations.

WORK

Irrigation Engineer Intern: Rumsey Engineering, Rexburg, ID 2016-Present

● Conducted efficiency testing on farm irrigation systems by measuring flow rates, pressures, and power consumption.

● Evaluated irrigation systems by using pump curves in conjunction with water head and pressure calculations.

● Calculated estimated costs, incentive, and payback period for customers to repair/improve their system.

● Presented data to customers and options to improve efficiency (replace/pumps, pivots, hoses, nozzles, sprinkler heads, etc.).

Secretary/Media Specialist: BYU-I Disability Services, Rexburg, ID 2015-2017

● Managed relationship between Hard-of-Hearing students and transcribers (those who take notes for them during class.

● Facilitate information from college professors and students with the department. OTHER EXPERIENCE

Volunteer Engineer: Rexburg LDS Temple 2017

● Facilities management consisting routine checks on power consumption, humidifier levels, pump gauge pressures, boilers, and water pH levels.

Statics Mentor: BYU-Idaho Mechanical Engineering Department 2015-2016

● Worked closely problem solving with over 30 students to help achieve understanding of statics 3 times a week.

Volunteer Representative in Los Angeles, CA: LDS Church 2012-2014

● Lead, trained, and directed over one hundred volunteer men and women in leadership, teaching, training, and working effectively.

PROJECTS

Curved Bending Stress on a Climbing Carabiner: BYU-I Mechanical Engineering Results:

● Performed a tensile test for a curved beam in bending stress on a climbing carabiner.

● Experimentally confirmed text book max stresses, location of failure, and found that strength of carabiner in open gate position is 6 kN.

Wire Rope Strength Analysis: BYU-I Mechanical Engineering Results:

● Performed a tensile test of a wire cable over a sheave.

● Finite element analysis confirmed deflection of individual wires and the phenomenon known as “bird- caging.”
