About
I am a student from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, majoring in Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics. I possess excellent communication skills, both oral and written, that can help me in building relationships with colleagues and co-workers. When I was the Chairperson for the American University Program Club, I served as the vessel to connect my club with the public and other organizations by writing or talking to them directly. Leadership and communication skills are strengths that I possess and I am also highly interested in management and problem solving. As a construction leader for an event called Halloween Night, I had experiences in recruiting and coordinating volunteers to assist with setup for event venue. I also have good team work experiences that help me in all aspects of retaining, motivating, developing, compensating, and benefiting people. Also, In university solar car project, I learn to design the component of the solar car using Creo 2.0 Parametric engineering software. I learn how to communicate and solve problems when a design does not fit well with other components of the solar car. I am also good in Microsoft office, excel and power point where I use them in design reviews and budget control. In Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Laboratories, I learn to write program about flight control system using C language in debian system. Most of my responsibilities involve cross compilation to improve our UAV flight performances. I also learn the concept of safety-first and also the correct way of doing work in a group.
