Personal Summary
Strong engineering background with experience gained in several disciplines through work via internships and university projects. Excellent problem-solving, interpersonal and communication skills; and a quick self-learner with the ability to work well with little supervision.
Education
2007-2011 B.S. Degree in Biosystems Engineering. University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ.
Graduated: Dec 2011. GPA 3.76 /4.0 -- Magna Cum Laude.
Substantial education in engineering and mathematics (through differential equations) and the ability to apply these principles to physical problems including solid/fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, electronics, lab procedures, and chemistry. Proficiency gained in the use of Excel, MATLAB, and VBA to analyze and model systems. Also competent in using SolidWorks (CAD) to digitally produce and simulate scale models. Successfully completed projects using the application of the engineering design process to create functional systems.
Work Experience
June 2011- Systems Engineering Intern
March 2012 Raytheon Missile Systems, Tucson, AZ.
Participated in the Program Management Excellence Department to assist Raytheon Program Managers in analyzing and updating program management information and metrics by enabling web based reporting. Worked with tools that created program metrics and other outputs using the SAP Business Objects Xcelsius Program. Developed and qualified test case application tools that were used for program scheduling, budgeting and cost tracking. Highly commended for my assistance.
Aug 2010- Co-Lead member on Senior Design Project
May 2011 University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ.
Collaborated with three engineers to create a process that would allow real time detection of bacteria in free flowing water systems. Using ANSYS Fluent Modeling and electro-deposition calculations; an ideal residence time, chamber geometry, and flow velocity combination were found that effectively deposited bacteria on an ATR crystal. These bacteria were then detected via ATR‐FTIR spectroscopy. Learned many a...
