Summary

Now that I’ve graduated from the Volkswagen Academy and completed my Associate of Applied Science in Mechatronics Technology from Chattanooga State, I’m excited to be continuing my career here in Chattanooga with Volkswagen of America.

As a Technical Apprentice, I’ve had the opportunity to be at the forefront of innovation in the automotive industry. I bring a strong focus on root cause analysis ensuring every challenge is met with thoughtful solutions, efficiency, and a commitment to the high standards that define our team.

My background as a Sales Associate at Elder’s Ace Hardware taught me the value of adaptability and service excellence qualities I now bring to the plant floor, where I translate hands on experience into real world solutions that contribute to the future of mobility.
