Work experience
Power Plant Engineering Co-op | City of Ames Electric Services | Jan. 2023 - present
 Managed a $1.5 million project to replace 480 Volt electrical switchgear
 Communicated with technicians during meetings to determine specifications for the new
switchgear
 Drafted a request for qualifications to obtain professional engineering services for the
design of the new switchgear and evaluated responses
 Analyzed power plant drawings including one-lines, wiring diagrams, and layouts to
determine equipment that needed to be replaced
 Reviewed technician’s redlines for City substation documentation, drafted them in
AutoCAD, and had meetings with technician to review drawings
 Created drawings using AutoCAD for power panels based on notes from electrician and
power plant one-lines
Quality Engineer Intern | Compressor Controls Corp. |May 2022 – Aug. 2022
 Learned PCB design by reading documentation and communicating with other engineers
to learn how to create a board layout and schematic using Mentor Graphics Pads
 Designed PCBs to ensure quality of manufactured products by routing outputs to inputs
of controllers for environmental stress screening (ESS)
 Tested PCB design by manually wiring I/O for initial ESS which identified failures with
13% of manufactured controllers
 Developed critical thinking skills by analyzing PCB design and removing unnecessary
components to save money
 Organized documentation for hazardous areas certification with CSA by adding
schematics, BOMs, and assembly drawings in NetSuite
Project experience
Ames Substation Senior Design Project
 Researched piloting schemes to develop a piloting plan for a substation including DTT,
POTT, DCB, DCUB, and 87L the current differential scheme
 Collaborated in a team of five to make final decisions on design documents piloting
schemes and bus configuration
