Summary
I know I work as a groundskeeper but it is not really my area of expertise. I just wanted to get into UCLA and that is where they gave me the opportunity to get in. However, I have experience in air conditioning. I will not lie. I do not have a license but I do have a little knowledge since I worked for 3 years in air conditioning and I have basic knowledge of electricity, I know how to paint a little, I also studied industrial mechanics in my country for 3 years, which is why I have knowledge of welding and a little technical drawing.
