2-year intern
I enjoyed interning at Ackerman-Estvold for two summers. It was a rewarding experience for me to spend most of my time working on the Mouse River Enhanced Flood Protection Project in Burlington, ND. I grew up in Burlington, so it was nice to be a part of this critical project and see the positive impact it makes in the community. I was exposed to many different aspects of engineering design that helped me be successful not only while finishing my education, but to prepare me for a full-time position. I chose this career because there is always something to learn. I’m glad I get to work with experienced people that help me along the way.
