This summer, Leah Kerber, a Transportation-Roadway Group Intern at MSG, gained hands-on experience supporting a variety of transportation projects, including work in Henry County, Pike County, and along I-475 in Lucas County. She assisted with plan production by editing roadway plans, built her CAD skills, and learned more about the overall project development process.
In addition to roadway design, Leah had the opportunity to contribute to several traffic planning projects. She participated in traffic counts and visited project sites, giving her a better understanding of how traffic concepts are applied in the field. These experiences allowed her to approach projects from a different perspective and better visualize how designs come together.
One of Leah's favorite experiences this summer was attending a WTS event at the new Route 8 bridge project in Akron. Seeing a project in its final stages, rather than the beginning of the design process, gave her valuable insight into the full lifecycle of a transportation project.
Leah also credits her mentor, Nancy Lyon-Stadler, for making her internship especially meaningful:
"Nancy Lyon-Stadler has been a great mentor for me during my internship. She is a wonderful woman, and I'm inspired by her confidence, friendliness, and guidance. I'm so grateful she let me come along to events and site visits with her!"
Thank you, Leah, for your hard work this summer! We're excited to see all you accomplish in the future.
