I thrive on the fact that every day on the job is a new challenge.

Mechanical Engineer

• May 2012 - Aug 2013

I love the challenge of deconstructing an architect's design, performing building load analysis and selecting equipment, then incorporating those elements into a final aesthetically pleasing design. Work here moves fast, with tight deadlines, but our team always puts together an exceptional final product. We pool resources from all company offices to ensure the client has a final product that was delivered on time, on budget, and meets all of their needs.

Engineering Intern

• Dec 2011 - Jan 2012

At Wight I had the opportunity to work with many talented engineers and architects. Wight designed one of the first LEED certified buildings and opened my eyes to the green building movement. During my time interning there I honed my AutoCAD skills and learned practical applications of engineering principles in the design of HVAC and plumbing systems. As an member of the engineering team I worked closely with the project architects to ensure the mechanical systems fit seamlessly with their vision for the final building design. Show less

Engineer Intern

• May 2010 - Aug 2010

As an engineering intern I interfaced between the engineering team and the production line for the creation of plastic injection molded automotive parts. We worked on root causing and solving quality issues, including burr elimination and appliqués. Learning the full production of a manufacturing plant is essential to understanding the downstream effects of engineering decisions and root causing problems efficiently and with quality.
