  Central Jersey Pools

  Jun 2021 - Aug 2022

  Parts and Chemical Technician at Central Jersey Pools

  At Central Jersey Pools, I worked as a cashier for my first year. However, for my second, after receiving my Water Care Specialist Certification from BioGuard, as a water tester. Everyday, I tested and diagnosed anywhere from ten to one hundred pool or spa water samples, explaining how to fix any issues customers may have, with chemistry, and help them feel heard and understand the chemistry to encourage them to return to us. In addition to this, I also assessed, located and assigned pool parts and other accessories for any remaining pool-related issues. Show less

  With Calculus II being considered one of the hardest courses at NJIT, with half the students either dropping or failing out of the course, upon receiving a 100% on my final for the course and a 99% overall, I have begun tutoring students in the course to help them pass the class.

  Valcor Engineering Corporation

  May 2024 - Aug 2024

  Design Engineering Intern

  While working as a Design Engineering Intern at Valcor, I worked on the R&D team on various projects. For the project I mainly worked on for the summer, I helped to build and teach others how to assemble a testing fixture, managed the project's schedule in the absence of its project engineer, modeled several assisting parts utilizing various textbooks and handbooks, performed stress analysis calculations to design a cover plate undergoing internal pressures, drafted drawings utilizing GD&T techniques, and ultimately developed a new valve within the project's family. In addition, for the other valve and brakes related projects I was working on, I helped to create several catalogs and matrices, most importantly ensuring both products could survive in cryogenic temperatures.
