Qualifications and Career Summary:
While in high school, I acquired the knowledge and skill to become an effective public speaker, presenter and listener. As I finished high school, I achieved the rank of Eagle Scout which I then used as a springboard to mentor younger Scouts so they could also achieve this prestigious honor. From 2005 to 2009, I gained experience by selling life insurance and investigating complaints when a life insurance policy was not paid. This ensured that families were financially taken care of when tragedy struck. I also did lawn mowing/landscaping and delivered packages in the same time frame. In 2009, I took a position where I was actively engaged in improving the water infrastructure of two metro areas. I did this in a physical sense and by analyzing collected data to improve the infrastructures efficiency and help prevent breakdowns. I then pursued a mechanical engineering degree where I gained experience with programs such as SolidWorks, MATLAB and LabView and contributed to make several school engineering projects possible.
