Summary

I have always been a dedicated and hardworking individual, consistently striving to be efficient and resourceful in both professional and personal settings. In my current role, I prioritize time management and problem-solving, often taking the initiative to seek guidance when needed to ensure accuracy and avoid mistakes. I also believe strongly in teamwork and regularly support my colleagues when they face challenges.

During my time as a student worker in college, I was entrusted with a variety of responsibilities that showcased my reliability and adaptability. These included carrying equipment, assisting with note-taking during meetings, guiding special guests around campus, and offering support to departments experiencing staff shortages. These experiences helped me develop strong communication and organizational skills, as well as a deep appreciation for contributing to the success of a team.

In addition to my work experience, I contributed to undergraduate research projects during my senior year. One project involved designing and 3D-printing an affordable shoulder rest, while another focused on analyzing stress-strain behavior in relation to different infill densities and patterns in 3D-printed objects. I submitted both projects to the 2025 National Conference on Undergraduate Research. I was honored to have the shoulder rest project selected for presentation, which gave me the opportunity to travel to Pittsburgh and share our findings with other students and researchers.

I am not afraid to start from an entry-level position, and I view every opportunity as a stepping stone toward professional growth. I am committed to learning, taking on new challenges, and demonstrating my ability to contribute meaningfully to any organization I join.
