Intern Spotlight! ✨ Name: Denaria Phillips What school do you attend? I go to Georgia Southern University and am in my Junior Year. How did you find your internship here at Ruby-Collins? I found Ruby at a Georgia Southern STEM Fair. Why did you choose a major/internship in the construction industry? I chose an internship in the construction industry because I can put some of my engineering knowledge into real-world practice. I thought this would be a good opportunity for me to get hands-on experience and see how different parts of engineering and other trade skills come together to create big projects. I believe this experience will be beneficial in the future no matter what field I might enter post-college! What do you do outside of school for fun? In my spare time, I like to play video games and read books. I am quite active in my church's youth ministry, so I am always helping plan and execute events there as well. What is your favorite part of your internship so far? My favorite part has been learning the managerial side of things in the field. The longer I am here, I see how a construction project progresses well only when there is good upper management overseeing every division and keeping track of their needs and efficiency. What was your childhood dream job? I really didn't have one, but I briefly wanted to be a pediatrician. An obvious change of heart happened during my teen years because I then wanted to be an engineer. #TeamWork #RubyCollins #Georgia #Intern #Internship #ApplyOnline
