Summary

I'm a hands-on high school student who loves working on anything with an engine-whether it's rebuilding one from the ground up or helping tune a classic car. I'm looking for a summer job in a mechanic shop where I can keep learning, gain real experience, and be part of a team. I've done everything from building a methanol-powered mini bike to working on Volvos and vintage British and Italian cars. I'm planning to go to a maritime academy after high school to be a diesel engineer and do maintenance on cargo ships. I'm excited to learn more about engines and vehicle systems in a real-world setting.
