This internship experience has been amazing! Ever since the first day, I have been warmly welcomed by everyone in the office. I have an amazing supervisor who has made every day very interesting and interactive. I have learned so much about the fundamentals of distribution poles and about all the amazing opportunities Leidos offers.

What made you decide to apply for a Leidos internship?

I decided to apply for this Leidos internship after learning about the company’s diverse opportunities. I was very inspired to learn that Leidos is integrated in so many industries like the power industry. This is growing field that I am very passionate about.

How will a Leidos internship help you meet your academic and career goals?

This Leidos internship will help me meet my academic and career goals because it will equip me with additional fundamental knowledge that will help propel my academic studies. It will also give me an opportunity to learn from experienced engineers which will serve as a platform to effectively transition into a career in power.

Besides the internship, what else are you up to this summer?

Besides this internship, I am excited to spend time with family and friends and spend some time travelling. I love to explore, and I am hoping to take a couple adventurous trips. I am also looking forward to completing a program management certificate.
