I am a graduating senior at the University of Georgia, earning a degree in Communications, with an entrepreneurial background. Throughout my college career, I’ve balanced a full academic course load while working at RAI in Athens since September 2023. At RAI, I’ve gained valuable hands-on experience in industrial fabrication, enhanced my technical skills, and expanded my understanding of manufacturing processes. I have also developed a strong foundation in leadership and management from both coursework and professional practice.
