graduate architecture intern
May - October 2021 • SeaTac, WA
What I liked
It was a fantastic experience. They exposed me to a variety of different roles in the field of architecture and made sure to give me a really well rounded experience. Everyone at the Port went out of their way to make sure that I learned and understood the industry.
What I wish was different
There isn't anything that I would change about it. It was a fantastic experience that I would recommend to anyone.
Advice
I would say don't be afraid to reach out to other departments and ask to tag along on site walks and see what their projects are like. Everyone is really nice and wants to make sure that the interns at the Port learn and are well rounded.

Aviation Training Intern
May - August 2019 • Seattle, WA
What I liked
It was a professional work environment that pushed me to learn more and explore the available resources that the company had. They adapted to my skill level and were always supportive and helpful in the projects I pursued.
What I wish was different
I wish there were more career expansion opportunities or ways to meet coworkers and fellow interns in a group setting, I had to seek these out individually.
Advice
Utilize internships as a way to expand your skill set and learn what it is like to be a part of the real work force, and put forth your best effort. You will get out exactly what you put in!

I liked how the internship was both professional and casual because on some days we would go outside and physically tag assets, which required more comfortable and casual clothing. I also liked how the my team was relatively small.
What I wish was different
Advice

Construction Management Intern
June - September 2018 • Seatac Airport, WA
What I liked
I enjoyed the work environment and communications with everyone on the team. I had a chance to go out on the field and observe the construction progress.
What I wish was different
I wish I had more to do in my project. In addition, I wish I had been involved in other projects earlier at the start of my internship so I could have completed them.
Advice
Be proactive, ask a lot of questions, and use every chance you get to talk to as many people and expand your network.
