“A good education resulting in a college degree is essential to becoming a well-prepared employee. What is irreplaceable however, is the on-the-job experience my internship at Haskell gave me. The gradual and real work opportunity I received helped me to understand the job and become familiar with the team and be a more effective contributor to Haskell. In addition, I was better able to stay focused on my courses. Lastly, earning money while a full-time student alleviated the cost and stress of being a student. I’m ecstatic that I had the great internship opportunity here at Haskell.


I started my first internship in 2021 with the Land Development team. I learned how to use AutoCAD and was introduced to many engineering concepts that I saw when I returned to school in the Fall. I went on to work during Winter and Summers breaks until my graduation. My second Summer of my internship program, I was able to practice my presentation skills in front of a large audience which was an invaluable experience. During my third Summer, I was able to visit a project site and was amazed to see some of the designs that I helped work come to life. It was also my first Summer that I had to help my team meet a big deadline where we all stayed late and came in early to finish on time. That taught me a lot about working under pressure with a team.

All of these experiences helped me focus on my education and see how it connected with the job at hand. I have an amazing team and supervisor who all take the time to help me grow as a professional and an engineer. I find the culture of Haskell to be supportive and I could not be more grateful for having access to the resources I have been provided. I was able to explore other job opportunities and concluded that the work environment and my experience at Haskell with my team couldn’t be beaten, so I accepted a full-time offer to continue at Haskell.”
