Hello, I graduated from my undergrad at the University of Arizona in May 2021 as a Mechanical Engineer, the subject that caught my most attention during my undergraduate studies was thermodynamics but I have been working in the production for for the past two years in a company that focuses on cryogenics and optics. The reason I am currently looking for a job is I need a change of pace, I enjoy what I do but I would like to explore what other companies have to offer. I am one to adapt quickly and learn quickly, I like to think of myself as a very determined individual.
