Thank you Steve Lau

Dear Steve Lau,

I would like to thank you for everything you did for me while I was an employee at SOHA Engineering Firm. I appreciate how you spent time talking with me every morning and was concerned about my well being as a young man . You were always someone I could talk to and your leadership values will always be respected by me . I didn't understand much about what to expect working at your firm  and was nervous, but you assured me that I would do fine and if I was struggling to come and speak with you. I was fortunate enough to learn and see first hand how successful firms operate. Learning and being involved with your great employees was the best part of being at your firm. Looking at your accomplishments on your wall every morning showed me what hard work can achieve. You are a fantastic leader and I want to be like you one day , even though its a hard task. Everyone around you recognizes your greatness and I will never forget you.

Every moment at your firm was a learning experience, whether it was completing projects for your team or going to job sites with Art to gain an understanding of how inspections and sites are ran. I enjoyed every moment at your firm and I know the skills I learned at your firm will make me a complete professional. I hope to one day be as successful as you. I will call you to personally thank you and I will make sure I remember all of the lessons Art and you taught me. I wish your firm nothing but success and I hope to see many more of your designs around California.

Sincerely,

your summer intern

Amazing Opportunity at SOHA

Throughout my internship at SOHA Engineers, I learned many different skills that will lead to me being a better professional and human being. My internship with SOHA was an opportunity I will always appreciate and be grateful for. I learned the importance of paying attention to detail and the importance of communication. Within my internship there were many times where if I was wrong on my calculations or provided the wrong information it could derail the process of the engineers completing they're project on schedule. Early on within my internship my main supervisor Art Dell would always get on my case about the importance of being detail orientated and making sure I understood what was being asked of me. He was honestly, the best supervisor anyone could ask for. I felt he pushed me to the best I could be by demanding greatness from me. Multiple times he would make me re-do assignments because he's a perfectionist at heart. I definitely, learn mainly the importance of paying attention to detail and communication. It also was great that Art Dell showed me a lot about CAD drawing. I am very positive that Art Dell is the reason I was able to be successful this semester and a reason I was able to learn new skills that I always knew mattered but never quite mastered until this internship.  I am very lucky to have worked at SOHA Engineering firm.

            

Interning at SOHA Engineers

The organization I was lucky, enough to intern for is named SOHA Engineers. Interning at SOHA is an opportunity I am beyond grateful to participate in.  Working at SOHA was always a learning experience and management always allowed me to be involved in projects no matter how big the project was to the firm. What SOHA does is complete structural designs, seismic rehabilitation, historic renovation, seismic evaluation, peer review, plan checking, Shoring and Underpinning, and construction support. Its clear SOHA completes any project required, there isn't any project to big or to small for SOHA Engineers. SOHA employees are professionals who all have completed degree's in they're respected fields and have very much earned the right to represent SOHA. Being that I was around such qualified individuals, my role was mainly to assist with projects in anyway possible I was needed. I would sometime complete paperwork for projects and also go out to sites with Art Dell and work as his assistant. Overall, I would report to Art Dell and complete many projects he had prepared for me to complete. I enjoyed working with Art and I will always appreciate the opportunity I was given by Steve Lau to intern at SOHA Engineers, based in Northern California.
