What I Do Currently I am rotating around different sites performing numerous engineering roles and activities. I am located in Houston, TX at the moment working as a project engineer. I helped write the proposal for the new space suits that will be used on the next mission to the moon!
Why Engineering? I chose engineering because it was a place where i saw constant technical and personal growth. There is always a problem to solve and always a new way to solve it.
School Days I went to school in Colorado State University-Pueblo and graduated with a B.S. in Industrial Engineering. I am currently in grad school at Clemson University for an M.S. in Industrial Engineering as well.
My Day At Work Problems solving, interacting with cross-functional roles to achieve a common goal, process analysis, data collecting, document inspections and drawing releases to name a few.
Best Part I like that every day is different. I also like that people trust you enough to bring you a problem and you have to go on a scavenger hunt to go find the best solution.
Proud Moments I'm proudest of my Excellence Award i received from my Company early 2021. It was given to me for an effort from Jan 2019-Jan 2021. My team and I transferred a plant over to a brand new cell and re-imaged the product and our relationship with the customer to create a multi-million dollar profit center.
Challenges Imposter syndrome has definitely been a challenge during my time as an engineer. For some reason, sometimes I feel like I don't belong in some of the rooms I am in. I always have to remind myself that I am here for a reason, whether that is to actively report out on an issue, or just learn from the great people I'm around in this company.
Want to be an Engineer? Do it! If you can put your mind to things and work hard for a solution, you can be an engineer. Don't let the title scare you.
Hobbies I love to be outside, whether that be hiking through national parks in the summer or snowboarding down some mountains in the winter.
