As head shop trainer, I organized and coordinated the training of 500+ engineering students on mills and lathes. I also managed the work schedules of around 30 student trainers. I was selected to lead my peers based on demonstrated leadership and shop skills.

In the role of shop trainer, my primary responsibility was one-on-one training for new students on the Bridgeport Mill, the lathe, and other shop machines. Other responsibilities included utilizing advanced prototyping and fabrication techniques to support students and faculty and upholding safety standards.

I participated in a unique internship program through Northwestern's Segal Design Institute. I headed two design projects. The primary project involved redesigning Ford's shop training protocol and creating supplemental training videos (this project was related to my position as a Segal Shop Trainer). The secondary project involved building a turn signal adapter for a stroke survivor.

I also assisted on projects headed by my coworkers. I worked on a variety of mechanical and biomedical engineering projects, including one that involved temporary fitting devices for prosthesis.
