Skills
Accomplishments
Biggest professional and personal milestones were reached thanks the highly demanding world of open wheel racing. I became part of the IndyCar racing family in spring of 2011 where through the years I have learned quantities from the technology world. Working in proximity to the fastest mechanics, the bests team strategists and most prestigious teams opened the gateway to my sharp mind and analytical thinking during high stress situations. I am proud to say I am part of the racing world for I have greatly benefited from it
