• Supported driving full documentation of design including, BOM, drawings, and procedures.

We collaborated with the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine to analyze the finish of 3D metal printed implants. The purpose of this research is to investigate surface finishing of 3D printed parts with such materials as titanium and stainless steel alloys. I also designed and initiated the manufacturing of an inset for the seals of the MASTeR lab’s friction tester. This will be used to test stick slip friction between the different surfaces.

I was responsible for the new member education program which involves teaching the new members about the history of our chapter. I coordinated with caterers, florists, and the entire chapter to throw a bid day celebration for all new members. I was also tasked with creating bonding and fun activities to make the new members feel as welcome and comfortable as possible.

I worked in a Frito-Lay manufacturing plant in Modesto, CA. I specifically worked in the packaging maintenance department where I partnered with the existing mechanic team to create a more efficient and accurate parts list for the packaging equipment at the plant. The parts list I created saved approximately nine and a half minutes per emergency work order which equates to about $34,000 in savings each year. These savings can be re-allocated in a more efficient manner.
