About 

I will be graduating from Clemson University in December 2020 with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. While completing this degree, I also completed a minor in Architecture. This minor program teaches the fundamentals of architectural design, community involvement, and the historical importance of architecture. Some relevant courses that I have taken during my time at Clemson University are: Architectural History of Place, Design Principles, Architectural Field Studies, Urban Transportation Planning, City and Regional Planning, Construction Estimating, CAD & Engineering Applications, and Technical Writing.

Employment 

Clemson University General Engineering Department, Clemson, SC, US, Undergraduate Teaching Assistant

Beginning in Spring 2018, I have had the opportunity each semester to work as a TA in various general engineering courses. Courses that I have worked in include Engineering Disciplines & Skills (Microsoft Excel), CAD & Engineering Applications (AutoCAD), and Programming & Problem Solving (MATLAB). During class, I assist professors with administrative duties and aid students with their in-class assignments. Outside of class, I co-host weekly tutoring sessions for these general engineering students to attend.

ECS Southeast, LLP, Greenville, SC, US, Construction Materials Intern (Level II)

As a Level II Construction Materials Intern, my responsibilities included those as I listed in the Level I Construction Materials Intern description, are were also expanded so that I had exposure to reviewing field reports, analyzing construction documents, delivering proposals, and the submittal of final reports to clients. Progressing from a Level I position to a Level II position gave me more insight into the behind-the-scenes procedures and mechanisms of the engineering and construction industries.
