Summary
Detail-oriented and driven engineering student and technician apprentice with hands-on experience diagnosing and repairing mechanical and electrical systems. While still early in my professional career with much more to learn, I have developed many practical skills working on machinery, wiring, and system troubleshooting.
I also bring a foundational knowledge of teamwork and collaboration, from field work alongside my dad to working with my bandmates. I perform well under pressure, developed through performing on countless stages over the years in band.
