ENGINEERING CO-OP| JONES-STUCKEY (Now Pennoni)

MAY 2010 – AUGUST 2012

As an engineering co-op at Jones-Stuckey, I was able to work on both bridge and roadway projects. My experience was invaluable and I learned a lot about engineering and analysis of bridges.

Summary

  • Analyzed various types of bridges for the purpose of load rating

  • Field inspections of existing bridges for the purpose of analysis and ratings

  • Developed plans, details, and quantity calculations for both structural and roadway projects for ODOT and local clients

  • Provided additional technical expertise to help create add-ins for Excel spreadsheets using C#

DESIGNER| BUCKEYE DRAFTING

AUGUST 2007 -AUGUST 2008 & JUNE 2014 – AUGUST 2014

At Buckeye Drafting I was able to be involved in the design and development of plans on both residential and commercial projects. My work here is what brought me to structural engineering because Buckeye Drafting would often work with engineers on projects.

Summary

  • Developed plans and designs for residential and commercial structures

  • Helped create and maintain the company’s website
