What internships have you had? Throughout the past four years at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±×ÊÁÏ 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.

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.
