Internship/Co-Op Experience
- Summer 2019, 2020, 2021: The Thrasher Group.
- Took part in several projects and meetings that discussed my own or an actual staff engineer's design (on AutoCAD, GIS Mapping, or Google Earth). I was able to take the design created on a computer and see the translation from the computer to the field. I also prepared reports and proposal letters, as well as enhanced my Microsoft Office skills.
Fun Fact
