Summary

As a second-year university student with a 3.33 GPA, I have successfully balanced rigorous academic coursework with 20-30 hours of work per week. My engineering coursework includes DC Circuit Analysis and Digital Logic, where I gained proficiency in VHDL coding and circuit analysis. I thrive in problem-solving and analytical tasks, and I enjoy working with numbers to find practical solutions. My work experience in retail and as a sous chef has strengthened my adaptability, time management, and attention to detail. I am a collaborative team player who can communicate technical concepts clearly and effectively.
