About

I bring a diverse range of skills and experience that add value to any team or project. With a strong mechanical background, I can understand and work with complex systems. I’m quick on my feet, allowing me to assess situations and make effective decisions under pressure.

My organizational skills ensure that projects run smoothly and deadlines are consistently met. I have 6+ years of experience as a drafter, plus an additional 3 years of technical drafting apprenticeship, making me skilled at turning concepts into detailed technical drawings. On top of that, I studied for 3.5 years in the evenings to earn my state-certified engineering degree, underscoring my commitment to quality and industry standards.

I excel at interpreting blueprints, which helps me visualize and execute complex designs accurately. I have worked extensively with AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, and Solid Edge, which enhances my ability to create precise designs. Additionally, my broad tool knowledge allows me to work effectively with various equipment. Overall, my skills and experience provide a strong foundation for contributing to projects, improving processes, and achieving successful outcomes.
