Planning and Sustainability Intern

May 2020 • Logan, UT

What I liked

I loved working with Jordy, Jim, and Alexi. They were a fun team and planned projects to help learn about sustainability and help me develop skills with GIS, AutoCAD, the Adobe Suite for planning.

What I wish was different

I didn’t get to collaborate with the coworkers in office as much as I would’ve liked due to COVID shutdowns. However, they were very good at involving me over zoom when necessary.

Advice

Since the position is split between 2 employers, it is important to know how to manage and balance time well.

Building Custodian

January 2019 • Logan, UT

What I liked

Working with amazing people who became great friends, and sharing in the crazy adventures we had. It also was nice to be able to work longer hours in the summer so I could save up more for Fall semester. The work isn't too difficult and I love the easy-going management.

What I wish was different

I wish there had been more big projects rather than just the same cleaning jobs over and over. Maybe some more deep cleaning stuff that would take more than just an hour or so? It is a custodian job, but I still like my work to be fulfilling.

Advice

Don't be afraid of the hours. :) Yes it's early (or late), but your body adjusts. You become pretty close with the crew you work with and it makes the time fly by so quickly. This is definitely a great job!!
