More details about your skills

Professionally, I have worked as a mechanical engineer and a professor. In addition to technical skills, I am an excellent problem solver with strong spatial awareness. I also love mentoring and teaching new skills to others. I am also detail-oriented and excellent at design.

In my home life, I love gardening, home projects, interior design, and cooking and trying new recipes.

One of my favorite life memories was the summer spent working at a bed and breakfast in Austria. I cleaned rooms, mingled with guests, and prepared breakfast each morning. The time made the most of my love of cleaning, organizing, and creative projects.

I am high energy, active, and caring. I am also talkative and friendly, love meeting new people and learning from them. I am an optimist who sees the best in others!
