Graduate Structural Engineer at Chevron

Houston, Texas, United States

About

I am a graduate from Texas A&M with a Masters in Structural Engineering. I started college as a business major but my interest in engineering and critical problem solving led me to become an engineer. I have interned at LJA Engineering in the summer of 2019, where I designed bridges with the structures team. I have also interned at Chevron in the summer of 2020 as a facilities engineer, where I performed various tasks on multiple upstream and downstream projects. I also interned with Versabar, where I utilized steel design to produce solutions for heavy lifting and rigging projects. I'm now working full-time at Chevron as a Civil/Structural Engineer at the Chevron Technical Center.
