During this internship I continued my previous work with the R&D team. Major projects included conducting longevity testing on new valve designs to ensure flow remained within two percent of target and evaluating multiple heat exchanger designs to maximize their effectiveness which would lead to over $1M projected savings.

On the R&D team, I had the opportunity to test dispensers and valves to ensure that they met the standards set by Coca Cola for commercialization. I also evaluated equipment to introduce new procedures for testing dispenser specifications. Finally, I inspected new parts for coolers with implementation leading to four hundred thousand dollars in savings.

In this role, I worked with the Facilities and Contractor Management team to maintain the Charleston Plant. My responsibilities involved working on major plant renovations, meeting with various teams in order to collaborate on projects, and conduction inspections on various plan facilities. My biggest project was helping oversee a quality assurance lab renovation which included walking through the project with contractors and working with the affected teams to ensure that the move went as smoothly as possible.
