Experience
US Anodize - Continuous Improvement and Design Internships
US Anodize is an amazing company providing, mostly, aluminum finishing services. The leadership there is overwhelmingly kind and welcoming, and over my two summers there I got to learn about so much and contribute to many interesting projects, usually learning or teaching myself the core concepts of the things I got to work on while I did them. I got to develop all the skills I knew I wanted to exercise, even in a role that wasn’t as focused on the particularly mechanical side of my engineering education. I am endlessly grateful to everyone who I got to work with there.
