Summary
As a student in the Manufacturing and Computer Aided Design industry, I have built a foundation of CAD Skills and attention to detail that I believe is valuable to such a field. I have completed courses on a wide range of programs and also apply myself in areas such as automotive repair and restoration. For the last years I have worked full time in a machine shop as a set-up tech and operator on Brother 3 and 4 axis mills as well as measuring and running quality control on parts and components. Also, I have helped instruct other students on how to set up and operate these Machines in a safe and efficient manor. I am eager to apply my skills and passion to learn even more about the manufacturing industry and produce high-quantity products in a professional setting.
