What internships have you had? Throughout the past four years at RWU I have had six three-month internships over summer and winter breaks. During my freshman and sophomore years I worked for Turner Construction (New York City), Shawmut Design & Construction (Rhode Island), and Kiewit Corporation (Nebraska). The summer after my junior year I had my first internship with Hensel Phelps Construction (Washington D.C.). Since then, I interned with HP in Los Angeles and returned to the job in D.C. part-time while I finish my senior year.

Have you been a part of any competitions? Yes, I was the estimator on the Design-Build Competition my junior year. It was really great to compete with other students equally as passionate about construction, and it was rewarding to get first place after all our hard work.

What are your post-graduation goals? I will be starting with Hensel Phelps Construction in Southern California as a Field Engineer. I am hoping to be on a large-scale project in Los Angeles. While I have plenty of time to figure it out, I see myself on the field track to eventually become a Project Superintendent.
