Education

The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) GPA: 3.42/4.0 B.S. in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering Anticipated Graduation Date: May 2017 Experience

Investigated the causes of cavitation corrosion on Titanium pipes used in service

Examined the effect of commercially available coatings on the effects of corrosion

Performed Weight Loss measurements and Keyence Microscopy to determine the efficacy of the coatings

Concluded that the coating used in service was effective and easy to implement, and more corrosion resistant when exposed to the electrolyte in service

Mapped a current process to identify and assess areas of improvement in the Rework parts delivery process

Worked with associates to address some of the problems, to develop a process improvement proposal to increase the efficiency of the parts delivery process to meet company targets

Monitored the shipping schedule and supervised the parts delivery and consumption of a domestic and international supplier daily

Structured a training manual for Rework Processes, to train new associates Quality Control Intern ArcelorMittal Vinton Vinton, TX 06/15 – 08/15

Constructed a catalog of high carbon grinding balls with different quench medias

Analyzed the chemistry, hardness, and microstructure to assess the efficiency of the quenching media

Performed a statistical analysis of the production, to see the effects of cracking on the grinding media

Executed daily consumption reports using SAP NetWeaver amounting to more than 250 net tons Undergraduate
