Summary

I am tinker by nature with a strong desire to learn. A bachelor's in Biotechnology prepared me for working in industry by focusing on the most current standards of Advanced Chemisty and Biology. Besides what I have learned from my coursework at Kent State University. At Kent State, I worked in two environmental labs where I would take and analyze samples and build experimental tools to work with for H2Ohio, the X-stream, and other public funded research projects. I have a hobby for mechanics and engineering principles while keeping up to date with the latest in material science and advancements. I have spent the past 10+ years reading wiring diagrams, building & fabricating, and using CAD software. I hope to be a good asset to any team where I can learn, grow, and use a combination of my skills
