Background

About Carina Monaco

I graduated from California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo with a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2021. My most recent work experience was as a Mechanical Engineer at Wonderful Pistachios & Almonds, where I designed equipment/maintenance structures, conveyance systems, and optimal building layouts for pistachio and almond processing. My core competencies include mechanical work, mechanical engineering, Autodesk Inventor, and AutoCad.At Wonderful Pistachios & Almonds, I worked with a team of engineers, contractors and technicians to create and improve the equipment and machinery used for nut processing. I applied my mechanical engineering skills and Autodesk Inventor knowledge to design parts and systems that met the specifications and standards of the industry. I also collaborated with other departments, such as quality control, maintenance, and production, to ensure the safety and efficiency of the operations. I am motivated by the challenge of solving complex problems and creating innovative solutions that enhance the quality and sustainability of nut processing. I can bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the team, as I have also worked as a safety and fire protection engineering intern at Jensen Hughes, as a manufacturing technician at Pet Doors, and as a shift lead at Julian's Cafes Limited.
