MATERIALS SCIENTIST | INNOVATIVE & DRIVEN

My name is Kayna Lee Mendoza Trujillo and I am a Materials Scientist/Engineer with the Department of the Navy, Naval Air at Fleet Readiness Center Southwest.

 

I obtained a Master's of Science with Distinction in Materials Engineering from Swansea University. For my Bachelor's degree, I graduated Cum Laude in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at the University of Texas at El Paso.  

My work has molded me into a diligent student, an innovative research associate, an investigative failure analyst, and a collaborative, all-inclusive team player.
