Summer Intern

Design Engineering

Education: Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering, WSU Tri-Cities.

Why were you interested in an internship at EN?

I was interested in an internship at EN because the company’s mission aligns with my personal and professional values. Another reason I pursued an internship is I want to learn more about nuclear energy. It’s a unique opportunity to work at a nuclear power plant in this part of the country.

What do you hope to learn during your internship?

I’m hoping to learn more about the various industry software we use and get some hands-on experience solving engineering problems. My long-term career goals are to help make the power industry safer, more reliable, sustainable, and economical.

Over the next year, I anticipate finding which specific department in engineering best fits my interests and skills. I also plan to apply for graduate school in the next couple of years and possibly take the professional engineer (PE) exam down the road.
