Work History

Engineering Staff/Field Technician

Alpha Testing
Fort Worth, TX
05.2020 - 06.2021
  • Help perform geotechnical analysis and study to assess construction site conditions.
  • Help perform construction materials testing services in: soils classification, in-place density testing, concrete testing (mix design and trial batches), sub-grade stabilization (lime, cement, fly ash) observation and testing.
  • Assist project professionals with project execution, proposal and report preparation.
  • Certified by American Concrete Institute (ACI Concrete Field Testing Technician – Grade 1).

Private Academic Tutor

Varsity Tutors
Saint Louis, MO
01.2020 - 05.2020
  • Tutored students in areas as Mathematics (Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Linear Algebra), French, and Earth Science, delivering individualized lesson plans and study guides on subject matter.
  • Helped students with subject knowledge as well as general abilities in learning, studying and retaining information.
  • Organized more than 20 fun, educational activities that allowed students to boost literacy and fluency skills through interactive learning.

Mentorship Chair

CalGeo At UCLA
Los Angeles, CA
09.2017 - 06.2019
  • Served as Mentorship Chair of UCLA Chapter of CalGeo.
  • Responsible for keeping membership high and ensuring strong involvement from every member.
  • Participated in GeoWall : a competitive project where we build a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining wall using poster board and paper reinforcement. The competitive portion of this project is where we have to use the least amount of material needed to reinforce the retained soil and design loads. While this is the main challenge in the project, understanding and applying concepts like soil mechanics and reinforcement properties are equally challenging and important.

Undergraduate Research Assistant

UCLA Department Of Earth, Planetary, And Space Sciences
Los Angeles, CA
10.2017 - 12.2018
  • Performed experiments and conducted research over the course of a year on a viscoplastic shear-zone model for deep (15–50 km) slow-slip events at plate convergent margins. Used QGIS extensively to map certain study areas and analyze the effects of earthquakes on these areas. Supervisor: Professor An Yin.
