Operations ResearchThis was one of my first majors classes in Systems Engineering at the Air Force Academy. It sparked my interest in optimizations and and swing weights that would focus on how to optimize certain aspects of a problem. Below is a project I had completed in the class on an Executive Summary to a general on which car would be the best replacement for the outdoor recreation center.

Technical WritingThis was my first majors class in Chemical Engineering. It has taught me about virtual footprints, collaborative technologies, and better global communication skills in a global workforce. Although I do not view myself as overly creative, the class has stretched my creative abilities.

PROGRAMMING FOR ENGINEERSThis was my most challenging class at the Air Force Academy, yet taught me the most in applicable life lessons outside of the classroom. Major Baldwin taught me multiple lessons on servant leadership and taking care of your people both inside and out of your workplace.
