I started out interning with Doyle the summer going into my junior year of college. I went to University of Maryland and studied mechanical engineering. When I was first applying for places to intern, I didn’t know what I wanted. But I was young and open to trying anything related to STEM. I decided to work at Doyle, because in my interview I really enjoyed speaking to the President, Mikey, and he encouraged me that Doyle would be a great fit.

I spent 3 months that summer (2022) working for Doyle where I spent a few weeks in estimating with Ranteg, Michael, and Brett, and then spent the remaining time at the Life Time Fitness project with Steve, Amanda, and Shane. I really enjoyed my time because I got a good mix of all parts of construction (estimating, field, pm side). I got along great with everyone at the company, and they always helped me out whenever I had any questions.

So a year and a half later when I started applying to full time jobs, Doyle was the first company I reached out to. Ranteg and I spent a lot of time talking about my goals and my future, and I decided to accept the offer to join the company as a full time Project Engineer.

After 8 months of working here full time, I was not only promoted to Assistant Project Manager, but I realize how valuable my time was interning and how much it helped me in my new role. Ranteg put us on a project to create a bid schedule, and through this I was able to learn about what needs to be installed on a ground up project, in what order, and how long each duration is. I became familiar with reviewing submittals and sending in RFIs, which I now do daily. All in all, the internship really helped me get familiar with construction, and helped me greatly for my full time job at Doyle.
