Melissa Dobbs
Megan worked as a summer intern at IMMI in our Emergency Vehicles market team. She had great work ethic, learned very quickly, and was willing to take on whatever was asked of her. There was never a day of work missed. She communicated well asking questions when needed and requesting additional work. Megan was capable of diving into projects that had not been handled well by others, interface with our customer on the project, and make significant progress in a short time period. She was an asset to our department even if only for a short time."
