Accomplishments

    Throughout my high school journey, I worked hard to develop strong Machining skills and earn industry relevant qualifications. I achieved three Machining certifications, including training and lathe, milk, and CNC work, while also maintaining a 3.8 gpa. In addition to my classroom work, I gained hands-on experience Machining everyday at Ivy tech, but help me apply what I learned in real world settings. I'm motivated, reliable, and ready to bring these skills and experiences to the workplace.
