Chattanooga
Summary
Electrical Engineering student at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (graduating May 2028) with experience working in a fast-paced restaurant environment. My role at Common Table has strengthened my communication, teamwork, adaptability, and ability to stay calm under pressure along with skills that I believe are just as valuable in engineering as technical knowledge.
I'm always looking to connect with engineers, recruiters, and professionals in the electrical or power industry to learn more about the field, explore internship opportunities, and grow my network.
