Hello,
Four years in college and five years in the Navy and what have I learned? Plenty! Plenty, that I can apply directly to an entry level mechanical engineering position. With a BSME degree from George Fox University and my experience from serving in the Navy, I may be the right candidate for you! Here’s what I bring to the table:

The drive and focus to achieve: Your organizations success depends upon the ability of your staff to grasp a problem, evaluate the best way to solve it, and then follow through to completion. This is precisely the process I have been following for the last four years. I completed my degree while keeping up with a family of four. Process, organization, and follow through are my middle name. You will find me to be a determined and committed worker.

Flexibility and creativity: Engineering is all about problem solving and then coming up with the best solution. When people work with me, they get someone who thinks for them self, but someone who is collaborative within a team environment.
I welcome an opportunity to explore your open position further.
When the time is right for you, please take a look at my resume below and respond to this listing.

Thanks.
