During my time at UTC Aerospace, I worked in the aftermarket department to support multiple airline programs. As a Project Engineer Intern, I was assigned to lead the created of six SRM documents, including SIDs, creating drawings, and technical writing to publish these documents to our clients. I also interacted with coworkers across multiple departments, and used my technical background to review reports from stress and reliability & testing to verify their correctness.

As a campus tour guide, I performed informational tours with up to 50 people per tour to market the university to prospective students and families.

While at Rudolph and Sletten I worked in the Special Projects division and took part in over five projects. During my internship, I worked with both clients and subcontractors, including attending weekly OAC meetings, bidding out new jobs, reviewing submittals, and doing job walks on recently completed projects. This includes personally bidding out Special Projects largest-ever project, a $12.8 million core and shell improvement to three buildings.Lastly, I also aided in business development, regularly attending meetings with the Project Executive to earn new business for Rudolph and Sletten.

During my time at Holmes Western, I received extensive hands on training with engineers and operators in the oil drilling and extraction process. This included weekly visits with clients and partners, where I was taught more about well stimulation tools, oil rig production, and secondary recovery methods. Additionally, I completed two projects under the supervision of the lead engineer. First, I performed a well production analysis for wells across five leases, including cost-benefit analysis of well stimulation options and giving recommendations to upper management. Secondly, I sized a free water knockout tank for an existing lease, given production throughput and separation needs then created a new process-flow diagram to integrate the tank into the cleaning facility.
