Eager and driven aspiring Mechanical Engineer with a profound love for mechanical systems, several of my passions are engines, RC, drones, firearms and 3D printing technology. As a transfer student and a bit of a late bloomer to college, I bring a unique perspective and determination to succeed in the field. Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, I have maintained a commendable 3.5 GPA into my junior year, demonstrating my commitment to academic excellence and personal growth.

My journey to this point has been one of exploration and discovery, marked by a deepening passion for mechanical engineering and a hunger for knowledge. Despite the challenges of adjusting to a new academic environment, I have embraced every opportunity to immerse myself in hands-on projects and theoretical coursework. I have honed many skills and expanded my understanding of mechanical principles.

My enthusiasm for 3D printing technology has been a driving force in many of my projects, where I have utilized this innovative technology to fabricate custom parts and optimize performance. This hands-on experience, coupled with my drive to excel in any task at hand has correlated to many academic achievements, underscores my readiness to take on the challenges of an internship opportunity.

As I continue to pursue my degree, I am eager to leverage my unique journey and experiences to contribute to an internship role. I am committed to learning from experienced professionals, gaining practical experience, and making meaningful contributions to innovative projects. With a 3.5 GPA and a strong work ethic, I am confident in my ability to excel in a professional setting and contribute positively to the success of the team.

As an individual with some life experience, I deeply appreciate the opportunity I've been afforded here at Texas Tech University. Recognizing the immense potential for impact, I am fully committed to making the most of this chance. Having lived a life centered around hard work, predominantly physical, I understand the value it holds. However, I was eager to transition towards employing my mental faculties rather than my physical, recognizing the immense potential for growth and contribution. I am aware that such opportunities are not universally granted, and I intend to approach this journey towards knowledge with unwavering dedication, cognizant of the significance it holds.
