Engineering Excellence for a Smarter World
Quality control experience in Sarasota, FL
Throughout summer 2024, I had the incredible opportunity to return to Moss & Associates as a Solar Quality Control Intern II. Unlike my previous role as a Project Engineer Intern, I spent significantly more time in the field while also collaborating with the QC manager in the office. It was a truly fun and engaging experience where I gained valuable knowledge, hands-on skills, and a deep appreciation for workplace safety with their strong safety-oriented culture.

Project Engineer intern
In the summer of 2023, I embarked on my first internship outside of school, joining Moss & Associates as a Project Engineer Intern. They offered me the position toward the end of the school year, and I didn’t think twice before accepting. Looking back, I’m incredibly glad I did.
Based in the Florida Panhandle, I was introduced to a new solar panel site and welcomed into a fantastic team. From the very beginning, I felt a strong connection with my colleagues, and I was pleasantly surprised by how warm and welcoming the work environment was.
Responsabilities
Official NAU Capstone Team
The Collegiate Wind Competition (CWC), sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, challenges students to develop wind energy systems. As lead engineer, I designed a testing setup for an offshore turbine, managed finances, and contributed to component manufacturing. I also helped design and build a wind tunnel frame. This hands-on experience combined engineering, teamwork, and problem-solving to address real-world renewable energy challenges.

Wind Tunnel Development
As part of a collaborative effort, I played a key role in designing and fabricating the wind tunnel frame, ensuring it met testing specifications.
My contributions included material cutting, design refinement, and logistics coordination for assembly. This experience enhanced my organizational skills and ability to apply theoretical knowledge to practical engineering challenges.
Being involved in this project was both technically demanding and deeply rewarding, contributing to our team’s success in the Collegiate Wind Competition.
