SUMMARY
I am a motivated young graduate engineer looking for a full-time structural engineering position. The devastation caused from the Haiti earthquake revealed to me the lack of structural integrity all around me, and ultimately inspired me to be part of the solution. At this stage in my career, it is essential that I build a full and varied body of work.
