Summary
I'm an Engineering student on the path to becoming a Structural Engineer, with close to three years of hands on experience as a Carpentry Apprentice on residential construction projects. I've worked on framing, cladding, bracing, and finishing systems, and I've learned how to read construction plans and apply building codes in real-world settings. I learn fast, pay close attention to detail, and focus on being dependable, punctual, and easy to work with. I manage my time well, stay focused under pressure, and enjoy solving problems. I’m keen to integrate my building experience and engineering studies together in a structural engineering internship where I can continue learning, contribute to real projects, and grow in the field.
