Summary

As a female of color, I am a hard-working and efficient leaner. I am most interested in becoming an electrical engineer as my profession. I am willing and determined to learn the many aspects of engineering within a workplace environment or internship. I know how to solder and work with circuits, I've completed several projects throughout High School. Listening is important and I can keep track of details. Being productive and organized is important and I like to keep busy. As a team player I am great with communication and highly motivated to help everyone excel while staying on task. I strive to be productive while maintaining a positive attitude. I am excited to learn new skills and goals. I strive to make my mark everywhere I go as a woman in the STEM field.
