"During my time at Saint Martin’s University, I served as a Graduate Assistant in the Engineering Department from August 2014 to August 2015. In this role, I supported a professor with the preparation of lecture slides and contributed significantly to the development of new course material. This experience not only honed my academic and technical skills but also deepened my understanding of curriculum design and pedagogical strategies. Additionally, I was actively involved in peer tutoring, where I provided academic support to fellow students. My responsibilities also included proctoring exams and evaluating papers, which enhanced my organizational and evaluative skills.

With a Master's degree in Civil Engineering and over ten years of professional experience in the field, my time at Saint Martin’s was a pivotal point in my career. The hands-on experience in an academic setting allowed me to merge theoretical knowledge with practical application, benefiting both my professional growth and the students I assisted. This role reinforced my passion for engineering and education, providing me with a strong foundation to contribute meaningfully to the field. Balancing academic responsibilities with real-world applications has been a hallmark of my career, shaping me into a well-rounded civil engineer with a commitment to lifelong learning and mentorship." less...
