What about Boeing's mission and the work we do inspires you?
I’m inspired by how Boeing connects millions of people around the world and enables us to explore our planet, and even outer space.
What internship do you participate in – Business, Engineering or IT & Data Science Analytics?
I participated in an engineering internship in the engineering design center’s innovation cell.
What's been the most rewarding project you've worked on as a Boeing intern? What did you do specifically on that project?
The most rewarding project I worked on was designing, prototyping, and testing a process-wide tool that improves how we put together our airplanes. My favorite part of it was testing the tool out with technicians who would use it and getting their positive feedback on how much it would make their work easier.
How will your internship experience at Boeing influence your future career?
My internship gave me the chance to converse with so many people doing fascinating work across the country and allowed me to make, hopefully, lasting connections for future career paths.
How do you think we are pushing the limits of aerospace technology?
Boeing’s work into composite airplane manufacturing and autonomous aerial systems has the ability to enable safe and reliable unmanned transportation across cities, countries and continents.
Describe 1-2 things you’ve learned as an intern that you wouldn’t have learned from your coursework.
I learned the importance of being vocal about your areas of interest and networking to find individuals who share your passion. I also learned that communication is an engineer’s best friend and plays the most important role in completing a project correctly.
What's something you wish you knew before you started your internship?
I wish I knew to look into the weather in Charleston, SC, and prepare accordingly.
