Summary

I am a dedicated student pursuing my goal of becoming a mechanical engineer, looking for an internship role. My experience working alongside engineers in a production plant, as well as my previous roles as a machine operator and labourer, has given me valuable hands-on experience and exposure to the practical side of mechanical engineering. Additionally, my work in the restaurant industry has strengthened my time and people management skills. Through coaching and playing sports, I have learned the importance of teamwork and effective communication. I am eager to continue developing my skills and knowledge in this field to become a great engineer.
