Meet a Leidos Summer Intern: Grant
Grant, a member of Gamma Tau Phi Penn State Honors Society, has been interning for over two months now and brings a plethora of highly sought-after technical skills to his role here at Leidos.
“Grant has been a great help to the team, providing support as we document and automate processes,” said Andrea Quinn, a Leidos IT Asset Manager. “He’s been a great team player, jumping in to help with everything from reducing a backlog of operational attestation tickets, to revising process flows and work instructions.”
