Fun Facts

I enjoy outdoor activities like fishing and hiking, and am usually open to anything and am pretty spontaneous (I like skydiving too). I try to go to any concerts that I can as well. My passions are cooking, doing physics and math, and sometimes I play my keyboard too.

About Me

I am an engineering tech for Noble Energy (oil and gas company). I help determine whether we should plug and abandon oil and gas wells, or fix them, for the most part. I have a degree in Civil Engineering with a minor in Physics. However, thinking of a career change and going back to school to do Physics research (masters or Ph. D), but this is a long term goal in the works for next year. I have to admit that I need to go back to school in order to get where I want to be in life.

Experience

At my work, I have helped 6 people learn my role and have taught them how to do their roles in the job (2 interns, 4 techs). I like trying to improve the processes at my work and try to challenge myself so I can learn more.

I have tutored middle school kids, people at college and work, and am willing to help my friends and family for free. I really like teaching people, even though a lot of it is self taught and I still need to work on it.

Approach

My approach is to be encouraging as possible, and also ensure that they understand the concept, rather than just know it. I have to admit that this isn't as easy as it sounds sometimes, so I try to explain concepts in different ways so that it sticks.I think that students are very hard on themselves and lose a lot of confidence, so I feel it's important to support them no matter what (even it if's inconvenient for me).
