Industry Experience
HMC Machine Shop
I work part-time as a machine shop proctor at the HMC Machine Shop, helping students (and occasionally faculty) at the Claremont Colleges stay safe and solve challenges as they machine parts for awesome class and personal projects. It’s been a privilege to help passionate students as they come in and explore their ideas for projects, or simply keep the shop open a little late to help E4 students meet deadlines, in the same way that proctors were gracious to me when I was a freshman working on my hammer.
While I’m learning even more by teaching others how to use the machines, I’ve already learned a lot by working on various metal and wood projects in the Machine Shop and student Makerspace:
SU24 Mechanical Engineering Internship
Over the summer, I worked as a mechanical engineering intern at WePackItAll in Duarte, California, analyzing a warehouse’s packaging lines to present my recommendations for increasing productivity. One major project was calculating the cost to revamp the industrial curtains for all packaging rooms. I am excited for my next professional experience! In particular, I’m looking for an internship for Summer 2025.
