Intern Spotlights

My passion is renewable energy and sustainability, making this opportunity with Energize Colleges the perfect fit. Over the quarter I have been working as a solar installation intern at GRID Alternatives Greater Los Angeles. I participated in all aspects of setting up photovoltaic modules on a household roof! . . . I'm grateful to have had this opportunity and it definitely makes me want to continue to pursue a career in renewable energy! |
I am working with Facilities and Maintenance at Harvey Mudd College to collect sustainability data to produce a comprehensive STARS (Sustainability Tracking Assessment and Rating System) Report. I am also helping F&M to create sustainable data tracking templates for future reports . . . this internship has given me the opportunity to get hands-on experience in sustainability management practices . . . I facilitated [a] class on sustainable living and energy conservation at Webb Schools. My hope is these high school outreach programs will prepare the next generation of environmental activists. |

With this internship, I had the opportunity to not only observe the daily tasks and responsibilities of an architect, but also gain hands-on experience working with computer modeling programs, like Auto CAD, and construction documents that are used in real-life projects. The internship was beneficial because I worked in a field that I am interested in with people who do what I would like to do someday. I learned a lot about architecture, team work, organization, technology and communication. |
