• Assistant Coach, Cross Country (2023–2024): Students qualified and participated in state meets both years.
• IB Certified – Summer 202
• Provided one-on-one attention to students, while maintaining overall focus on entire group.
• Kept classroom organized, clean and safe for students and visitors.
• Completed in-service and additional training to maintain professional growth.
• Utilized various technology platforms to enhance virtual learning experiences during remote instruction periods, ensuring continued academic progress despite challenging circumstances.
• Established clear expectations for behavior and academic performance, resulting in increased accountability among students.

• Simultaneously prepared six distinct curricula across middle school Math and Science.
• Created a strong academic foundation in math, improving students from an average 6th-grade level to 8.6 grade-level application within a year.
• Designed and implemented real-world, critical-thinking math activities; all 8th-grade students accepted into college preparatory diocesan high schools in 2010 — a first in school history.
• ITBS 2010 Results:
  80% pass rate in both Math and Science
  87% success in problem-solving approaches
  75% passed Data Interpretation
  0% to 20% increase in students scoring at maximum in overall Math
  38% achieved maximum in Math Computation
  90% passed fraction computations; 80% passed decimals (all functions)
• Created a functional Science lab from an unused storage area without a budget, leveraging collaboration with other schools to access materials and adapting labs to maintain rigor without equipment.
• Founded the Chi Alpha Mu math club for peer tutoring
• Launched student-driven Science Fair with 100% positive parent feedback
• Cross Country Coach: Team earned 4th place out of 10 teams in school’s first-ever competition

• Taught five preps across four grade levels in Math and 8th-grade Science
• Implemented a math mastery program integrating manipulatives to improve conceptual understanding
• Fostered a safe, engaging learning environment in an inner-city school through collaborative partnerships with staff and administration
• Applied real-world examples to Science to encourage critical thinking
• Achievement Highlights:
  7th Grade Math scores improved by 31%
  5th Grade Math scores improved by 15%
  Established a schoolwide middle school Math tutoring program

• Promoted through the technical ladder to Staff Engineer role in Thin Films, leading process development during the company’s transition from 4-inch to 6-inch wafers in semiconductor manufacturing.
• Converted and optimized an electroplating tool for production use; trained operators on new system software and preventive maintenance procedures.
• Created and implemented training and certification standards for equipment operators, improving operational consistency and reducing tool downtime.
• Developed and instituted wafer reclaim procedures, resulting in $5,000/month in cost savings.
• Successfully transitioned a sputter deposition tool from R&D into full production mode, significantly improving production uptime and throughput.

Process/Integration Engineer – Thin Films

• Developed and implemented thin film processes from startup for a semiconductor manufacturing operation, including full characterization through design of experiments (DOE), data collection, analysis, and optimization.
• Played a key role in cross-cultural integration between TI (Texas Instruments) and Hitachi workforces, fostering collaboration and operational efficiency.
• Diagnosed and resolved major process issues, including:
  SOG Particle Problem: Identified furnace N₂ flow and wafer positioning as root causes; implemented corrections.
  SOG Reduction Initiative: Conducted material usage reduction tests, resulting in $400,000 annual savings for Twinstar.
  Rigaku 3630 Calibration: Developed measurement curves with 30% higher accuracy than both parent fabs.
  Equipment Correlation Issue: Identified and documented correlation mismatch between WJ1000 and Rigaku 3630, reducing downtime and enhancing quality control.

• Increased customer satisfaction by resolving complex issues and providing exceptional service at all times.
• Established strong relationships with key stakeholders, facilitating effective communication across departments and teams.
• Supported architectural electrical design with a specialty in lighting design
