years of professional experience
I am a mechanical engineering student with practical hands-on experience. I have worked four summers in a metal fabrication shop, and most recently worked a summer on-site at the largest yogurt processing plant in the world, where I was able to utilize both my education and practical work experience. My hobbies include carpentry, playing the guitar, and hiking. (Mt. Borah: 12,688 ft.)
