During my time at Electric Boat, I served as the lead engineer assigned to develop a component refurbishment program. Given the long life expectancy of submarines, inevitably some manufacturers either go out of business or no longer support a certain product or component. Once that obsolescence is identified, a replacement solution is required unless there is a sufficient inventory of repair parts. Understanding that such circumstances could create additional business for Electric Boat, I worked to formalize a method for receiving used/failing components and returning them as “ready for issue assets.” I was able to establish procedures that created a flow path for the refurbishment of these components by leveraging the existing trade skills

Without the ability to compile and leverage data to make a strong business case, the refurbishment program might never have achieved its full potential. To date, my engineering experience, undergraduate education, and Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification have all provided me with specific knowledge of, and experience with, component design, evaluation, and manufacturing. I now intend to pursue my MBA at Harvard to capitalize on what I have learned in order to help companies with significant and strategic business …show more content…
These were week long trips where you served with people and partner organizations that work daily to improve the lives of those less fortunate. My first trip was to Laredo, TX to work with Habitat for Humanity. Having the opportunity to work alongside the future homeowners was the most rewarding thing I have done in my life. Hearing their stories and understanding how they connected with Habitat for Humanity was something I wish everyone could experience. Upon returning to Villanova I shared my story and wanted to participate in as many future trips as possible. I would later go to Lexington, KY, Miguel Aleman, Mexico and was able to organize, plan and lead my own group of students to Slidell, LA. These service experiences have helped to shape me as a person. I regularly reflect on them and see how they influence my actions. It may be something as small as talking to someone in need, donating food to the local food pantry, or helping with community fundraisers, but I know it all makes a
