As a student of Cal Poly's nationally accredited Construction Management Department, I believe the education I received significantly contributed to achieving my career goals. During my 2023 Summer internship with Kiewit Bridge and Marine, I experienced the practical application of Cal Poly's effective teaching methods. These experiences enhanced essential skills crucial to the construction industry, including:
Confidently asking questions
Approaching new tasks effectively
Communicating concisely
Mastering scheduling skills
Demonstrating effective team leadership
Applying cost engineering principles
Outside of my academic and professional pursuits, I find pleasure in outdoor activities such as hiking, off-roading, camping, and skiing. These experiences fuel my passion for working in the field alongside laborers and foremen, making a field-based construction career an appealing choice for me.
