      As an intern, my main task was to develop the alarm limits that operators would use to keep the newest paper machine running smoothly and creating a quality product. I also helped with the lab work designed for creating refiner curves on one of the older paper machines. I was part of the morning meetings so that I would have an understanding of what was going on for the day and what types of projects would be coming in the future.
