Summary
Adept at MIG, Stick, and Flux Core. My role as a Welding Tutor at Central Oregon Community College showcased my ability to motivate students through creative thinking and self-directed learning, demonstrating significant growth in their practical skills. While I was a Welding tutor I attained 7 AWS D1.1 Certifications. 3G+4G SMAW X2, 3G+4G FCAW-G .045" X2, 3G+4G FCAW-G 1/16" X2, 1G GMAW-SPRAY X1. Unfortunately all of them have expired because I have not been welding in two years. I joined the Ironworker aprenticeship in August 2024, but realized it was not a good fit after 9 months.
