Summary

Hello Everyone,

A little about me, I am an enthusiastic and detail-oriented civil engineering student who is passionately searching for an internship or an entry level position. Primarily within land development, water resources or structural engineering. However, any other possible opportunities within transportation, environmental or construction management is still open for discussion. While studying for my bachelors, I am also participating within clubs and assisting civil engineering professors in conducting research within civil engineering education. Outside of academia, I enjoy the being outdoors, working out and spending quality time with family and friends.
