Summary

I am a reliable student seeking to obtain a degree in Civil Engineering. My goal is to gain experience in the Civil/Construction industry. Preferably I am looking at the construction side of Civil due to my experience, but I am incredibly open to all the opportunities. I am excited to learn the distinct roles and functions that go into a civil project which would allow me to obtain basic work experience in my field of study. Being a detail-oriented person who is eager to learn through experience, I am confident that I could be a valuable addition to any engineering team.
