My name is Michael Pascoe

Since 2020 I have been study part time at the University of Canterbury working towards a Bachelor of Engineering with Honours in Mechatronics engineering. Fulled by my desire to work in the aerospace industry I have been incredibly busy with university both in and out of class with many extracurricular activities including my work with UC Aerospace and more recently UC Robotics as well as part-time work with both causal internships and work I am looking to broaden my practical experience and to get more hands-on training to compliment my academic and extra-curricular achievements. Being a quick study and adaptable means I can handle a wide variety of tasks. Although I may be less experienced and qualified than others, I’m unrivaled in my dedication to my work and my desire to grow make a me potent addition to any workplace..
