Education
I am extremely proud of my academic record and accomplishments. I recently graduated Michigan State University with degrees in Electrical Engineering and Social Science. Not only did I exceed expectations at every level, I also displayed crucial resilience in the face of adversity. I received a shockingly low 20% on my first electrical engineering exam. Instead of quitting, I push myself even harder. I manage to achieve a 3.5 in that course and never scored below a 4.0 in any electrical engineering class that followed. I even taught the first course to incoming Spartan engineers as a senior teaching assistant.
I know that I will never be satisfied if I am not always learning. That is why I am seeking a partnership with an employer that will help give me opportunities to pursue continuing education. In addition to on-the-job training, I am excited to earn useful professional certifications. I also hope to pursue a Master's degree with a focus in SoC and IC design, either independently or in conjunction with my employer.
