  Kansas City Power & Light

  May 2014 - Aug 2015

  Mechanical Engineering Intern

  I worked on many projects in my time at Kansas City Power & Light and I really enjoyed them all. I got to learn about project management of large capital projects and small but complicated side projects, testing and analysis related to Flow Accelerated Corrosion, metallurgical lab work, revisions of P&ID's, and just how to interact and work in the real business world.

  Mechanical Engineer Intern

  While working in the Power Generation Services' Mechanical group, I had many opportunities to apply what I have learned and to learn even more. I was allowed to take ownership of a couple small projects, gain familiarity with industry standards and guidelines, perform sizing calculations, and gained valuable experience interacting with vendors.
