Degree in Mechanical Engineering-minor in Material Science at University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, May 2000 - Cumulative GPA: 3.0/4.0 * A.A. Degree in Engineering at Palm Beach Community College, Palm Beach Gardens , Florida 1997 A.S. Degree in Drafting at International Technical Institute, Tampa, Florida 19 87 DRAFTING EXPERIENCE Pratt & Whitney Aircraft- Contractor, West Palm Beach, FL 6/1994-8/ 1995, 1/1996-8/1996 CAD Operator * Drafting of technical and mechanical drawings using Formtek and Unigraphics fo r the production and development of space and turbine engine parts and systems. Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, West Palm Beach, FL 12/1987-10/1993 Senior Drafter * Provided sketches, layouts and details of assemblies involving castings, forgi ngs, as well as, machined and formed parts. Assisted engineering team in the de sign of new, and redesigned parts and rigs. CLEARANCE SSBI and DoD Top Secret clearance (2004) LEADERSHIP R6**projects, ASME member, IPPD program, Eagle Scout-1983 ACHIEVEMENTS * In 2008, received an Appreciation Award for contribution to the J-2X Regen Noz zle NAR * I have received several Spotlight Awards at Raytheon, two examples follow: * A total of 3,390 APL-5 unreleased soft products were burned down to zero in th ree months. These efforts meet the deadline and satisfied the customer. * Supported Cryo-Cooler testing by working various shifts to meet the schedule. * I have a committed-team approach to work as demonstrated by receiving five sup plemental awards for enthusiastic effort and innovation that met demanding sched ules at Pratt & Whitney often involving weekends and holidays. Three examples fo llow: * Redesigned the F119 EMD exhaust nozzle convergent flap with the drafting team through extended overtime effort. The effort recovered a three-month schedule s lip. * Supported Space Shuttle Main Engine's alternate turbopump critical design revi ew. * Rendered CAD support on the 20K rocket thrust chamber. Produced existing ANVI L drawings to make manual drawings, thereby shortening the drafting effort. REFERENCES Available upon request
