Summary

As a Chemical Engineering Student from Michigan State University, I am excited to find an opportunity to apply knowledge and skills to solve real-world problems and prove value.

Recently I completed an internship at Magnetic Products Inc., where I gained hands-on experience in design, equipment troubleshooting, electrical and PCB work, and other common engineering skills. I worked with a team of engineers and technicians to support various projects and tasks such as designing, assembling, testing, calibrating, and installing products.

Through my internship and academic coursework, I have developed core competencies in engineering principals, methods, and tools, as well as in communication, teamwork, and critical thinking. I am eager to learn more and grow into my career as a Chemical Engineer, both personally and professionally. I am actively seeking opportunities to further my development and contribute in the engineering field upon completion of my degree in July.
