–2018 Intern
“This past summer I completed my internship at Comsat Architects in Rocky River, Ohio. It was such an amazing experience where I met so many incredible people. I learned a tremendous amount and grew professionally as a learner. My job helped me grow my intrapersonal skills as well as time management skills working with fellow interns to complete mission planning and preliminary analyses for a CubeSat project. I gained experience in SolidWorks and Systems Tool Kit for many mission tests. I am so thankful for this amazing opportunity and all that I’ve learned. A huge thank you to all my mentors and fellow interns who helped me every step of the way.”
