Pullman, Washington, United States
At my time at Washington State University getting my Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering, I have taken courses such as Intro to Engineering where I learned many of the important skills to have being on a team of engineers such as communication, the design process, and professionalism. While my main passion is in military tank engineering, I also have a huge interest in other types of engineering such as aircraft, energy, and aerospace engineering. Due to this interest I am building multiple projects such as a jet engine and a car engine to pursue further knowledge in the subject. Due to my interests, my main goal is to become an engineers that helps design military tanks to present to the government and attempt to get it into service with the United States Army.

While working at this job I would help train new crew members how to do the job as efficiently and easily while operating within company standards. In doing this I would learn many good skills such as leadership of other people, clear and concise communication, and how to do managerial paperwork to ensure that everything was recorded properly. Along with training new crew members, I would preform the same jobs as them so by doing that I learned in addition to the other skills such as customer service, time and resource management, and accounting of cash.
