"I had the privilege of interning with Keller throughout my studies, and it allowed me to practice and build the same topics and concepts I was learning in the classroom. My favorite part is being able to know and be proud that I had a hand in a new structure or project being built."

“In college, I interned for Keller gaining hands-on experience in the field and seeing practical uses for what we learned in the classroom. After college, I returned to Keller full-time due to their company culture, travel, and endless growth opportunities. In my career so far, working at Keller has been a rewarding experience.”
