Hometown: Sagamore Hills, OH
Summer Intern Project
Sales Intern – Integrity Stainless, Streetsboro, OH
“My project was all about taking what I learned from spending time in every department and turning that into a customer-facing presentation. I wanted to build something fresh and interactive that really reflects who we are as a company. I tried out different design tools, learned to edit photos, and worked through a lot of trial and error until the final product came together. I’m proud of how much I’ve learned about the steel industry and about being resourceful and problem-solving. I hope the new material helps bring fresh energy to how Integrity Stainless and Olympic Steel are perceived by our customers.”
