Summary
Motivated engineering student with strong communication, teamwork, and problem‑solving skills developed through retail work, construction experience, automotive training, and hands‑on engineering projects like MATLAB and using Arduino. I'm known for being reliable, approachable, and supportive, with a genuine interest in helping first‑year students feel confident and succeed in engineering courses. I have learned from the best LAs, and I feel like I can use some techniques they used as well as some of my own from my various experiences.
