Summary
AJ garcia
Mechatronics Engineering Student | Unger Powder Coating Shop Ninja (with a touch of
mischief) | Proficient in Hand Tools | Open to tackling challenges beyond my core skill set. |
Actively seeking part-time opportunities. With a solid educational foundation and a diverse range of skills and experiences, I am a motivated
and versatile individual committed to contributing to organizational success. My background includes a
high school diploma from Vallivue High School, where I developed expertise in computer skills, tutoring,
and woodworking. Over the past nine years, I have honed my computer skills, navigating various
applications seamlessly, and showcasing my proficient typing abilities that span eight years. A significant
part of my journey includes serving as a Teacher Assistant for special education in middle school.
This role allowed me to refine my communication skills and adaptability while assisting students with
diverse learning needs. I also played a key role in supporting the school janitor during my senior year,
honing my attention to detail and task management. For two years, I immersed myself in woodworking,
acquiring hands-on experience that significantly improved my craftsmanship, problem-solving skills,
and attention to detail. My passion for woodworking reflects my dedication to continuous learning and
refining practical skills. Additionally, I have dedicated three years to gardening, which not only showcases
my commitment to personal growth but also nurtures qualities such as patience, perseverance, and a
harmonious relationship with nature. As I embark on my academic journey at the College of Western
Idaho, where I will pursue an Advanced Mechatronics Engineering Technology AAS, I am excited to expand
my knowledge and skill set further. This program aligns with my passion for practical problem-solving
and creating innovative solutions. Presently, I am contributing to Unger Powder Coating as I assist with
various shop activities. This includes preparing wood products for assembly, managing wood product
placement on conveyors for coating, labeling parts, and overseeing shipping operations. My role involves
performing detailed inventory checks on parts and accessories, reflecting my meticulous approach and
commitment to quality. My strengths extend to areas of efficiency and cost reduction. I excel in finding
ways to streamline processes, whether through optimizing work sequences or implementing resourceful
techniques. My experience includes certifications in supervisory skills, call center customer service, basic
computer proficiency, and customer-focused orientation, underlining my commitment to professional
growth and adaptability. Teacher Assistant for special education in middle school
