Operate multi-axis milling machines (Haas, DMG-Mori) and EDMs (Sodick) at a metals 3D-printing company. Work from work orders, drawings, and verbal instructions. Calculate and set controls to regulate machining factors such as speed, feed, depth and angle of cut. Verify dimensions and alignment of finished product post-production for quality assurance.

Worked for an experiential design firm, detailing the production of various brand experiences, which included trade shows, pop-ups, and brand installations. Used CAD modeling to create construction and installation plans for our building staff, as well as aided in some of the construction. Also managed vendors for project materials, crating, and shipping projects.

I worked as a CNC machinist, operating various CNC mills including Bridgeport, Okuma, Fanuc, and HAAS machines and producing gun parts for various platforms.

I worked as a lead designer and lab technician for a prototyping/STEM education company. I ran multiple advanced manufacturing machines such as 3D printers, laser cutters, and CNC milling machines. I also use my CAD programing skills to help create small product designs and help clients with projects.

I taught part time as a 7th and 8th grade mathematics teacher. I prepared lesson plans on a weekly bases, collaborated with the other math teachers, and taught 3 class periods, all while performing all the other duties any full time teacher would. I also sponsored the math team, having weekly after school meetings and competing in tournaments on weekends.

I worked as a math tutor, aiding students from elementary to high school levels with various levels of math.

I was a cashier and sales representative at a wine store that sold wine, liquor, and beer. I was responsible for running a cash register, helping customers choose product, stocking new product, and keeping the store clean. I also worked as a server at wine tastings the store held off location.

I was contracted to create a set of corporate identity materials, including letterheads, brochures, post cards, business cards, and thank you notes for one of their brands, Q-Pass.

I worked as a project manager for a company that designed and built trade show exhibits, mall kiosks, and custom interiors. I created building plans using 3D CAD programs, ordered materials through various vendors, oversaw the construction of the project from our carpenters, made assembly instructions for the clients, and oversaw the eventual install or crating and shipping of the booths to show. I also communicated with all other entities that were tied to the project to coordinate and keep up with a fixed schedule.
