At the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) I analyzed large datasets of EV charging port installation programs in Southern California. Using tools like Microsoft Excel, Power BI, Tableau, and HTML, I created an interactive dashboard for the 50+ programs in the division. The dashboard was able to filter through the data to show visualizations of the number of ports energized in each sector/utility agency, progress for each program, timeline of port installation, and other useful information. I learned a lot about various EV charging infrastructure (Level 1, Level 2, DCFC) and the policies in California that are pushing toward Electric Vehicles and related infrastructure.

I participated in a 7 week virtual internship at East Bay Municipal Utility District. I was co-lead of a project in which I researched and developed a workforce report for the outreach and recruitment of diverse and qualified Electrical Engineers. Throughout my research I met with several Electrical Engineers at EBMUD and other industries and gained an understanding of the professional field of Electrical Engineering. I also reviewed the challenges with hiring and developed a strategy for creating a pipeline of diverse and qualified Electrical Engineers. This internship was during the Covid-19 pandemic, so I gained experience with virtual collaboration tools and remote work.

At the Division of Traffic Operations, I assist engineers with testing, technology searches, and documentation of electronic hardware, software, networks, communications, and other electronic and electrical systems. I have gained hands on experience in testing and troubleshooting transportation field hardware and communications technology and developed an understanding of traffic signal control, and ramp metering algorithms.

I served as an Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) Tutor for the Engineering Department at Sacramento State. As an Engineering tutor, I used knowledge of Physics, Math, Chemistry, and Engineering to assist students with their coursework and developed the ability to break down complex concepts into simple terms and communicate them effectively. I was able to deepen my own understanding of coursework and had several repeat customers. I was also promoted to lead tutor for 2 semesters and assisted the department by creating tutoring schedules and managing communication between the 12 tutors in the department.

I assisted the department by creating spreadsheet data bases for equipment, breaking down maintenance projects into milestones and deliverables, and conducting research on various transportation topics including Battery and Hydrogen Fuel-Cell technology. I also visited several rail maintenance and manufacturing sites and got an in depth understanding of public transportation.

I developed great customer service and time management skills as a delivery driver at Pizza Hut. Often times I was multitasking and delivering multiple orders in one trip. I also helped prepare pizza and stock the store between deliveries. I never had any complaints and was always able to satisfy customers with on time delivery and great customer service.

I started as a Barista at La Bou Cafe & Bakery and slowly was given responsibility for more tasks like opening and closing the store, taking orders and stocking inventory. I was later promoted to weekend manager and was in charge of assigning shifts and counting registers on weekends. I developed great leadership skills and improved my customer service skills at La Bou.

At Carl's Jr, I worked in a fast paced environment providing customer service. I learned to multitask by taking in store orders and drive thru orders at the same time. I also had various duties like taking out the trash, cleaning the store, and restocking items. At Carl's Jr, I developed great work ethic at the young age of 16 and was taught the importance of being punctual.
