"As you can see from my resume, I began my career as an Aircraft Mechanic with an FAA-approved training in aviation maintenance from a well-known trade school. While that really helped propel me into the field, I took it upon myself to receive my bachelor's degree in Aviation Maintenance Science five years ago, when I was living in Florida. The bachelor's degree program really helped me become a more well-rounded mechanic by having me study propeller systems, power plant operations, and advanced electricity. If hired for this role, I am confident in my ability to tackle any issue I would come across."
