• Identifies and supports new business development, and expansion of existing RME relining services to new and existing sites.

• Assesses and advises clients on commercial proposals related to RME’s mill relining products and services.

• Provides technical aid to customers using RME products and makes recommendations for alternate use, new products, upgrades, or replacements as required.

• Gives technical advice to management and operating departments related to mill relining.

• Contracted to design and test acrylic water tanks for use in decorative water features.

• Created 3D models of prototype water tanks and used SolidWorks to perform hydrostatic load simulations.

• Selected prototypes for further testing based on the simulation results and carried out real-world load tests on those designs.

• Instructor and mentor for Junior High academic pre-engineering summer program for students from Navajo reservations in Southern Utah, Arizona, and Colorado.

• Planned and taught intensive courses in Algebra and Introductory Physics.

• Adapted study sessions to needs of individual students and fostered an environment of acceptance, respect, and learning.

• Tutored students from Junior High School to College in a variety of subjects ranging from basic Arithmetic to English to Calculus.

• Implemented individualized study plans to suit client abilities and needs, and taught students organization and study skills

• Communicated regularly with students, parents, and teachers to make sure needs were met.

• Facilitated day-to-day operation of treatment center for at-risk youth as part of a team of program supervisors.

• Assisted clients prior to their graduation by setting expectations with clients and families, and teaching coping skills such as communication, goal setting, and stress management.

• Managed staff and daily scheduling, and handled crisis situations as the first point-of-contact.

• Developed a novel process for manufacturing bioinspired ceramic scaffolds that mimic ring structures found in nature (e.g. tree rings, Liesegang rings).

• Identified and resolved problems throughout the development process and reported progress weekly.

• Carried out mechanical tests to quantify the change in properties within the scaffolds and ran statistical analyses on the collected data.

• Published results in the scientific journal Materials & Design and presented a poster at the TMS 2018 conference.
