Transitioned from Autodesk Inventor primarily in high school to SolidWorks during my CAD course in college.

Certified SolidWorks Associate (CSWA) certification through the exam taken in the modeling course.

Applied SolidWorks for various class projects, as well as personal projects, demonstrating proficiency in CAD modeling.

Completed CS1400, a college-level computer science course, which involved learning and applying Python.

Utilized Python and Jupyter Notebook to solve finite element analysis (FEA) problems in the Introduction to Finite Element Analysis course.

Incorporated Python in my senior capstone project to predict forces and sled motion (further details in the project section).

Completed a lab course focused on simulating real-world engineering problems, such as analyzing parts under specific loads.

Gained hands-on experience using FEA techniques to model and analyze structural behavior.

Acquired foundational knowledge in finite element analysis, providing a strong start for further learning and application in engineering projects.

Utilized HSM Works at the USU metal factory to create tooling programs for student CNC parts.

Gained hands-on experience in developing CNC machining jobs for precise part creation.

Strengthened machining knowledge and improved ability to design efficient, effective tooling solutions.

I have extensive experience using Microsoft Office Suite throughout my educational career. 

Excel: Utilized in multiple college courses to organize, analyze, and present data for research and lab reports.

Word: Applied extensively for writing lab reports and research papers, including advanced use in a technical communication course for reports and group projects.
