During my senior year, I became our machine shop's 3D printing supervisor. In this role I am responsible for the operation, maintenance, and training of Cal Poly Engineering's 3D printings for student's personal, club, and senior project. Additionally, I am the first point of contact to provide any technical 3D printing guidance and assistance for students and faculty members. Over the course of the year, I have trained 30 of our new rookie student technicians in the use of 3D printing and maintenance, fixed the 3D printers hundreds of times, and helped a countless number of students. Under my leadership, students were able to print 115 miles of plastic filament and the printers reached a total of 2066 print hours during one school year.

As supervisor, I undertook multiple other goals to improve 3D printing within the shop. I created a robust printer maintenance procedure, created and standardized our maintenance documentation, heavily organized our 3D printing workspace, and improved the quality of our 3D printing training for student technicians and students.
