JUAN FRANCISCO BURNEO TORRES

Elizabeth,USA

Summary

Automotive Technology student at Union College of Union County, NJ, currently building a strong technical foundation while expanding my formal training in the U.S. I bring previous hands-on experience from prior automotive studies and a one-year internship at Loja Car, one of the largest automotive shops of my home city in Ecuador, where I developed practical skills in maintenance, diagnostics, and shop procedures. In addition, I actively provide automotive services independently to family members, friends, referred clients, and personal contacts, performing maintenance, basic repairs, and diagnostics. This ongoing experience has helped me strengthen my mechanical skills, problem-solving abilities, and real-world understanding of vehicle systems. I also bring 5+ years of professional experience in leadership, customer service, operations, and subcontractor management, making me adaptable, responsible, and effective in team environments. Fluent in Spanish and Upper-Intermediate to Advanced in English, I am highly motivated to obtain an entry-level automotive position or internship to continue learning and growing in the industry.
