Entry-level energy intern focused on sustainability, international affairs, and leadership.
What I'm looking for
I’m an entry-level Energy Intern who builds strong cross-functional insight at the intersection of petroleum operations, energy efficiency, and sustainability. Through the “Federal Petroleum Internship,” I gained field and project observation experience and worked alongside engineers, analysts, and management to support energy-focused presentations.
I bring a leadership-and-service mindset from student executive roles and fast-paced hospitality work. As Treasurer and Executive Board Member, I planned events, advanced advocacy and community outreach, managed budgets and expense tracking, and strengthened my public speaking, teamwork, and conflict-resolution skills—while serving guests with clear communication and consistent service quality.
