LEADERSHIP

I've had the privilege numerous times in both my academic and professional life to take on leadership roles. As is evident in the Academic/Professional Experiences and Projects sections of this site, it is common that I assume leadership positions where possible.

​

I believe I have a strong tendency towards leadership roles when they are available to me. This is especially present in subjects during my studies where group work assessments are commonplace. I maintain a high degree of success in the projects that I lead and attribute my success to my exceptional  skills in managing teams.

​

It is commonly difficult to work with engineers, we can be quite opinionated and sometimes oblivious to other, possibly better solutions. I see these pitfalls in my own work frequently. I think my reflective ability is what allows me to help manage this conflict when it arises in team activities. This is what, I believe, makes me good at mediating disagreements when it comes to engineering design decisions in teams.

​

Furthermore, I am able to bring my professional experience into the academic setting where I have gained an exceptional amount of experience dealing with individuals of many engineering disciplines. I am always eager to expand my leadership skills and I do so by doing, I never turn down an opportunity to take charge.
