• Partnered with the Materials Department to update vital quality documents. Contacted all vendors and asked them to email the department their updated ISO certificates. • If the vendor was a distributor and not a manufacturer, then a Self-Audit form would suffice instead. • Once a valid ISO certificate or Self-Audit form was received, the documents were organized in the company's database. • The auditor that came approved of the changes, and the department did not receive any minors or majors.

• Interacted with customers in order to sell all-natural, gluten-free popsicles. Answered questions about the type of flavors offered and promotional offers. • Operated cutting edge technology to blend ingredients and freeze the mixes to make the popsicles. • Customized some of the popsicles with different toppings, which included chocolate, nuts, and spices. • Trained new workers on the store's operational procedures, which included how to operate a cash register, how to customize the popsicles, and how to interact with the customers.

• Designed and built a small-scale pump to determine the pumpability of refractory • Pump's miniature design is innovative with no counterparts available in the marketplace • Can pump refractory containing 1/4 inches of aggregate with a load of 25 pounds in only 30 seconds • Employed the use of SolidWorks to determine some of the pump's characteristics including maximum pressure, viscosity, and velocity • Selected AISI 304 Stainless Steel as primary material due to its resistance to corrosion and high ultimate tensile strength • Built the pump using various pipes, tubes, and plates • Customized pump to include pressure gage, which can read the pressure of the refractory flowing through the device • Table was built to hold the pump in place and to allow easier transportation • Organized a project timeline to make sure all objectives were met promptly • Presented final product to classmates, professors, and members of the general public

• Tested the pollution levels in three different schools and parks using an air monitor • Mapped pollution data in a software application called AirCasting and compared intensity levels • Authored blog posts that detailed how to operate the air monitor and the process of graphing the data • Created a list of design modifications to the air monitor and designed a manufacturing plan for an improved air monitor • Manufacturing plan was used by successor to build an air monitor

• Work-Study in the Community Care Building • Organized and compiled paperwork for new HIV studies • Created and filed folders that detailed patients' records

• Created a hearing loss prevention program • Placed a sound meter and microphone inside a mannequin's ear to collect decibel readings of loud music that is being played through headphones • Created program using MATLAB to display decibel readings on the client's laptop • Client would then use high decibel readings to explain to students how listening to loud music can result in hearing loss • Modified an existing travel case to include small compartments and to allow safer transportation of the mannequin

• Facilitated relationships with shoppers • Explained to customers the reward system and credit card signup procedures • Processed and expedited customer transactions by operating cash register • Performed tasks with accuracy, efficiency, and attention to detail
