TE(Tactical Etching) LLC is a company where I had the opportunity to intern during my trip to the United States, thanks to an introduction from my relative, uncle Cameron Cranston.

It's a small local business, I worked on processing products made from various materials and applying coatings and paint using a Boss laser machine.

We mainly collaborated with clients such as the National Guard, the University of Central Florida (UCF), and the Orlando Magic (NBA).

I enjoyed the experience of communicating with people from different cultures, and although I can create impressive work on my own, this was a time when I learned that collaboration can take you even further.

I am grateful to all the people I met in this unfamiliar land who showed me kindness and warmth.
