Summary
Professional and focused CAD Drafter/Designer, highly effective at creating accurate renderings in high-volume, demanding environments. Diverse work history with prior experience in fuel transportation, auto glass installation, and farming.
In 2021, while working in the fuel transportation industry, I went back to school and earned a certificate in Computer Aided Drafting – a deliberate step to embark on a new career within the CAD industry, which I have been doing for the past 1.5 years.
My career change has sharpened my focus and determination, enabling me to approach challenges with fresh perspectives and innovative solutions. My pragmatic methodology for achieving goals, combined with a positive mindset, is the cornerstone of my continuous pursuit of excellence and success.
