Summary
I am driven, dedicated, and steady under pressure in leadership positions. I have exceptional social skills, which aid me in my extensive experience as a supervisor, and as a tutor. Troubleshooting situations as they arise and finding solutions to problems is likely one of my better traits, and I can adapt to circumstances as they arise. I also have a strong passion for mechanical systems, and I enjoy studying them and discovering how they work. Recently, this has evolved into designing and building those systems myself, with tools such as CAD programs.
