About
I am a Cal Poly Pomona undergraduate with a Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering & a minor in Energy Engineering. Cal Poly Pomona is a Polytechnic university that provided me five years worth of both academic & hands-on applications engineering experience in Thermodynamics, HVAC, Measurements, CAD & Design, Programming, Manufacturing, Circuitry, Stress analysis, Engineering
Materials, Heat Transfer, Finite Element, Heat Transfer, Control Systems, Fluid Mechanics, Nuclear Engineering, Alternative Energy Systems, & more. Before Cal Poly Pomona, I attended an Engineering focused high school for four years that developed skills in CAD, soldering, and manufacturing processes.Work on these technical collaborative projects provided me with key skills in organization, attention to detail, leadership, research & analysis, & teamwork. I am ready to tackle any challenges that come my way today & in the future.
