mechanical engineering in Little Rock, I earned most of it at U
of A at Fayetteville. I was fortunate to begin working as a
Product Design Engineer 2 years prior to graduating in May of
2006. I did work as a CAD drafter for a few years prior to this
engineering position. I have broad experience in various
industries, most of which involved manufacturing and using lean
processes. My design skills are excellent with about 11 years'
experience using AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and Excel at 3 different
companies. I'm creative, assertive yet friendly, work well
under pressure, and I'm great with analytical problem solving
and multi-tasking. I have been involved with the complete
process of manufacturing various products and project
management. I'm sure there will be new things to learn in
coming to a new company, however, I feel that there is no job
that I cannot handle. I have repeatedly proven to be an
extremely fast learner, many times with little or no training at
all. I'm very organized, down to Earth, and just positive and
efficient in general. I have a great personality that makes me
a great liaison among coworkers. I am a natural leader with
great communication skills, both written and oral. I can also
travel as much as necessary. I assure I will be a valuable
attribute and look forward to working and growing with your
company!
