Education and Training
University of Illinois 2013
Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, U.S.
Chemical Engineering Bachelor of Science
Graduated the University of Illinois with an overall GPA of 3.23. My final two semesters at the University of Illinois I took an
over loaded course schedule of 19 credit hours, which included my senior design. My other capstone engineering
courses included unit operations lab, materials of reactors, bioreactors, tissue engineering, and polymer engineering. I
transferred to University of Illinois in the fall of 2009 from the College of DuPage where I received the Presidential
scholarship which granted me free tuition. As part of the scholarship requirements I completed community service and
took more challenging honors courses. While attending the College of Dupage as a full time student I also worked full time
at Jewel Osco. My accomplishments while at the University of Illinois include finishing in third place for a BP student
design competition. The competition provided an interesting opportunity to work with BP process engineers.
Professional Experience
Process Development Engineer January 2015 to Present
Swenson Technology Harvey, Illinois
Performs feasibility evaluations for solid product recovery via crystallization from bench scale all the way to large scale
process equipment. This entails pilot scale simulations to determine optimum conditions for growing crystals that meet
customer specifications as well as analytical chemistry evaluations, and economic calculations.
Production Engineer (6 month contract) March 2014 to November 2014
Adhesive Systems Inc. Frankfort, Illinois
Responsible for process improvement and troubleshooting in the production of industrial adhesives. Additional
responsibilities include ensuring JIT production, production troubleshooting, internal/external quality control, technical
customer support, and R&D/custom reformulations. Currently two of my custom formulations are commercially
available. While creating my custom reformulations I formed relationships with specialty chemicals suppliers such as
Nexeo Solutions, Arkema, Emco, Lubrizol, as well as Avomeen Analytical Services.
Associate Engineer (3 month contract) October 2013 to January 2014
Gas Technology Institute Des Planes, Illinois
Worked full time as a lab technician/associate engineer responsible for operating a gas-liquid membrane separation
process. My duties included operation, troubleshooting, and data collection for a pilot plant scale process. Several units
were run on site at a coal power plant as well as high pressure units in a laboratory setting. This opportunity gave me
experience in real time trouble shooting as well as proper research and development procedure. I also gained
experience in process improvement. Several design modifications were made to the units after coming online in order
to ensure smooth operation. Perhaps the most valuable experience was the introduction to industry safety procedures
for laboratory as well as on site operations.
Assistant Butcher January 2009 to January 2013
Jewel-Osco La Grange Park, Illinois
Worked full time while attending school full-time during my first two years of college.
