Objective To obtain an entry level Civil engineering position.

Skills

• Drinking Water Treatment Facilities – Designed a drinking treatment plant for the city of Missoula, Montana. Performed detailed calculations and design cost analysis. Planned and recommended manufactures for facilities within the plant.

• Open Channels – Investigated and surveyed open channels at a closed mining location. Final design incorporated vegetated channel in order to mitigate the problem of arsenic contaminated sediment transport.

• Pipeline Design – Performed design calculations and cost analysis based on type and use of pipe for small and large scale water distribution systems and small scale drain systems.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills made me very successful in supporting students with clarification in the school subject related to the lab I was coordinating. Helped a number of students to clarify their doubts and understand the subject better.

• Proficient in MS Office, AutoCAD, HEC-RAS, HY-8, CCH2D, and EPANET

Experience

Graduate Research Assistant [August 2009 till July 2011]
