Internships
Mysa Smart Thermostats
(Fall 2024 and Fall 2022)
For my third and sixth internships, I was the Production Engineering Student at Mysa.
My tasks included but were not limited to:
​​​
-
Redesigned the mechanical casing of an IoT smart thermostat using SolidWorks to streamline assembly and improve usability for software and QA analyst teams, supporting improved product integration and faster development cycles.
​
-
Remodeled Mysa’s In Floor Smart Thermostat exterior casing, reducing out-of-factory costs by 32% by implementing mechanical buttons. Used FDM and resin 3D printers to decrease delays in design iterations.
​
-
Coordinated closely with international suppliers to manage and create engineering change orders, using Arena to ensure timely implementation and alignment with product design and quality standards.
​
-
Designed, 3D printed, and created drawings (including GD&T) for a new thermostat accessory tray that optimized limited space and reduced unit costs by decreasing box dimensions by 12%.
Tesla - Charging Team
(Winter 2024 and Summer 2023)
For my fourth and fifth internships, I was a Technical Program Management Intern on the AC Charging Hardware team at Tesla
My tasks included but were not limited to:
​​​
-
Managed cross-functional weekly meetings with mechanical and electrical engineers, software developers, and global supply chain managers to drive the development and design releases of five Powershare AC Charging products. Successfully planned and executed a Powershare demo-event for 100+ employees.
​
-
Led the AC Charging Hardware Q1 goal scoping, planning, and presentation to the Senior Director. Used Microsoft Project, Jira, and ThinkCell to delegate engineer work hours, resulting in 70% of quarterly tasks completed.
​
-
Oversaw daily standups to manage and coordinate compliance and system test teams to drive late-stage development and certification of new residential charging products.
​
-
Introduced, implemented, and led a risk mitigation/pre-mortem exercise to the Energy Program Management team that streamlined required next-steps.
Canada - Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board
(Winter 2022)
My second work term was with the C-NLOPB where I was the Well Operations Engineering Student.
During the winter of 2022, I gained meaningful experience. Weekly, I would review permits submitted by operators to ensure all critical information pertaining to offshore drilling plans were outlined.
This work term also allowed me to develop my MS Excel skills, as I edited and updated the division's metrics databases to improve project workflow.
The main project I focused on at the board was the research I conducted on Abandoned Offshore Wells. I developed a procedure and standards that helped me narrow down which wells should be prioritized when considering future well monitoring technology.
Newfoundland Power (Summer 2021)
For my first work term I was fortunate enough to lead and manage multiple projects in the Transmission and Distribution division in the St. John’s office of Newfoundland Power.
One of the major ongoing projects I took part in was the drone pilot project in collaboration with AltoMaxx (drone company) and BuzzSolutions (AI company). I created the majority of the in-field reference materials for the two companies, as well as completed several reports regarding the succession of the project.
The main project I focused on was the parking lot lighting analysis I conducted as part of a workplace safety audit. I surveyed and displayed the current lighting levels of the ten main Newfoundland Power building parking lots onto AGi32 (lighting software), and proposed a complete solution package to the company executives in order to meet the ANSI lighting standards. This was the first project I ever managed, and my proposal was approved just two weeks after the end of my internship.
