SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS
I am a manufacturing enthusiast with over a decade of experience which includes machine operation, mechanical properties testing, electrical testing, metal and fiber reinforced composite fabrication, medical device machining and hand lay-up of fiber-reinforced plastic composite materials. Also, I have been a manufacturing laboratory technician for 4 years. I graduated in the fall of 2011 with an Associates of Applied Science in Industrial Technology with a concentration in mechanics with a 3.0 GPA. As of January 2020, I started my studies at East Tennessee State University. I am pursuing a Bachelors of Science in General Engineering. I hope to transition from a role as a laboratory technician into an engineering profession.
