Summary
Recent Rochester Institute of Technology graduate with Bachelors of Science in Electrical
Engineering and Philosophy, a minor in Astronomy, and a concentration in physics. This unique mix of
skills enabled me to address a critical action item on Sierra Nevada's Dream Chaser spacecraft by
conducting independent research and analysis of electromagnetic interference that were not taught in
my courses. As a quick learner I can easily adapt to any position and become competent with new
software and practices as required.
Professional Experience
Berke Eye Care March 15 – Present: Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Specialist
− Enter data and close charts in Integrity Electronic Medical Record system in compliance
with federal and private insurance regulations.
