| Gemma Gibbons"I am currently enrolled as a student at Central Washington University while working full-time at Renton Municipal Airport. I would not be in my current position without resources like WAMA or mentors encouraging me to apply for an internship position." -- Gemma Gibbons GGibbons@rentonwa.gov Click here for Gemma's story |
| Kennedy VesseyKennedy Vessey interned at Auburn airport in 2021. Kennedy reports that she has accepted employment at one of our Washington-state airports. She is not the first intern to land an airport job--there have been quite a few others. It is encouraging to see how well this program works; giving real-world experience to young professionals, and creating a pathway to employment. kennedy.vessey@gmail.com |
