Internship Projects:
1) Produced a restaurant map for the new hire orientation.
2) Participated in developing the sanding network for Chisholm Trail Parkway (CTP).
3) Experience using large data sets and GIS software.
Soft skills:
1) Participated on a cross-functional team in pursuit of corporate goal.
2) Converted academic knowledge into real world skills.
3) Developed professional connections.
I strongly recommend gaining the experience of an internship in fulfillment of a senior capstone project. An internship provides new experiences, opportunities to meet professionals, opportunities to grow personally, multiple learning opportunities, and interns are paid and get class credit.

Projects/assignments:
While working at NTTA we developed the sanding network for Chisholm Trail Parkway and reviewed the snow and ice sanding routes. Tasks included developing a map to show the truck coverage during a snow and ice event and updating and improving internal maps, including the restaurant map.
Starting from left to right, the first image is the restaurant map for new hires, the second and third is the process of how the sanding network started with the designs from Computer Aided Design. We extracted the data needed to start developing the network to create the routes for the sanding trucks during a snow and ice event. We also provided estimates on how many trucks and how many miles will need to be sanded.
