Summary

An empathetic and caring proactive problem solver with a bachelors of science in Electrical Engineering from Michigan State

University. I am eager to gain experience outside of the classroom as someone who is a fast learner, critical thinker, hard worker,

and enjoys a challenge. What I may lack in engineering experience outside of school and personal projects I make up for in skills

acquired from my restaurant experience such as empathy, team management, and customer management that you will not find in

your everyday engineering candidate.
