I attended Bradley University in Peoria, IL, and graduated in 2017. I earned a Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Energy (Thermodynamics).
While at Bradley, I conducted research on passive solar dryers for food. The purpose was to design a cheap and accessible dryer for remote locations so food could be stored for longer. I was also a member of the Sigma Phi Delta Engineering Fraternity and the Amateur Radio Club.
Skills
Skills which pertain to my professional career include Microsoft Office, technical writing, code compliance, and CAD.
In previous positions, I have been the “go-to” person for Microsoft Office. I have developed advanced Word templates for reports and created tools in Excel which automate complicated and time-consuming tasks. These have saved time and increased accuracy and consistency with report writing and calculations.
