OBJECTIVE:
After a discouraging experience working for an environmental engineering general contractor, I decided that my true career path lay elsewhere than the construction industry. I moved on from there to do something that I love: working with kids. The experiences I've had while tutoring and teaching kids to ski were incredible, but my intellectual hunger is still not satisfied. I have come to the realization that my path to success lies in an engineering discipline. I am seeking an interesting opportunity in Mechanical or Materials engineering that will challenge me intellectually and provide an opportunity for advancement in a high tech environment.
