Why did you select Spartan College and your program of study?

It was recommended to me by a family member who was a current employee of Ball Aerospace

 

How did Spartan College successfully prepare you for your career?

They helped me in knowledge to take to my career and helped me mold my ability to grasp concepts quickly.

 

Please describe your career path and how you got to where you are today (Including degrees earned).

My current career wish is to continue in the field of Aerospace, specifically with Ball. Previous to my time at Spartan I had odd dead end jobs that amounted to nothing. With the degree that I earned from Spartan, I have seen many opportunities that were previously unavailable to me open up.

Several of the members of staff really helped me believe in myself and helped me strive to achieve my degree so that I could reach for my passion.

How did Spartan Prepare you for your day to day responsibilities? What tools and equipment do you use?

I primarily use torque tooling, your basic tools such as sockets, wrenches and screw drivers. There are times where I am asked to think on my feet to find a solution for an issue that comes up in a project that I am working on; some of the tasks at Spartan trained me to navigate such predicaments with calmness and ease.

 

What have been some of the high points of your career?

I have had the luck to work on cutting edge technology that is going to be used in Space and Military applications. Everyday is a new experience and the end product that we are aiming for is actually going to make a difference in the world. I have become certified to be able to work/repair Space flight hardware.
