My third and final co-op was spent at SharkNinja (SN), the viral and disruptive appliance company. During this Co-op I worked on two different teams in Ninja Heated R&D, starting with outdoor, then halfway through moving to indoor. This change, was allowed me to explore not only different teams and different people, but also different offices, from Waltham, MA to Needham, MA. My position allowed me to explore a wide variety of products from propane grill and smokers to indoor multicookers and airfryers, research air flow patterns and different methods of manufacturing propane burners.

My second co-op was spent at Keurig Dr. Pepper (KDP), the beverage, coffee pod, and appliance company. Specifically, I worked in the Coffee Business Unit based in Burlington, MA. Keurig is exploring new ways to brew coffee with K-Rounds, a plastic and aluminum free pod to start the new chapter of sustainability for the Keurig portfolio. My position was on the Puncture Mechanism (PM) Team for the Alta Brewer, the machine that will brew this new generation of pods.

My first Co-op was spent at Piaggio Fast Forward (PFF), a start-up style subsidiary of Piaggio Group based in Charlestown, MA. PFF is an innovative, global technology company which designs, manufactures & sells robots created to collaborate with people to sustainably improve pedestrian mobility. This internship focuses on utilizing engineering and management skills to bring products from prototype to commercial manufacturing by actively working with quality control, sourcing, finance, manufacturing, prototyping, and testing. After the end of my co-op, I returned part time in the spring semester to continue my projects and assist in preparing for manufacturing.

I have TA'd for this course almost every semester I have been at northeastern, and plan to do it until I graduate. The course covers material related to the engineering design process, different software's engineers use like CAD or Microsoft office, and teach a variety of coding languages. As a TA I grade the technical assignments, create new material for the ever changing needs of student body. Furthermore I teach classes relating to technical topics when the professor is absent and I mentor the groups relating the group projects in the class.
