Summary
Rejoice Christian is a third-year Mechanical Engineering student at UIC with a hands-on, build-and-test mindset and over five years of customer-facing experience in retail and automotive roles. She turned pandemic curiosity—disassembling electronics and working on cars—into CAD projects and basic diagnostics, and now contributes to UIC SAE Formula while honing SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and PTC Creo skills. Her current role as a Business Development Center Representative sharpens communication, lead qualification, and cross-team handoffs, complementing her technical ambitions in design, testing, and manufacturing. Practical shop experience from porter and fulfillment roles gives her a pragmatic sense for vehicle readiness, inventory flow, and quality control. Rejoice seeks internships or co-ops where she can apply classroom learning to real-world product development and bring a user-centered, detail-oriented perspective to engineering teams. Based in Naperville, she balances technical focus with campus activities like Ultimate Frisbee, showing both teamwork and persistence.
