I am currently an Engineering student at Wayne State University. Since I began employment at ArvinMeritor, I have learned how to apply classroom concepts in the workplace. I have found that things in the classroom are pretty mechanized and if you work a problem out, things generally turn out right. In the real world however, there is a lot more troubleshooting. As part of the ArvinMeritor team, I’m learning how to deal with the unexpected.

I am a mechanical engineering student at Kettering University in Flint, Michigan. At ArvinMeritor, I am working with a team to research and develop ways to make heavy-duty diesel engines work more efficiently and contribute to a cleaner environment. Every day I am learning something new in the field of design.
