Using her environmental studies expertise, Aly assists with tasks to support the company’s solar energy operation. She monitors the solar output of projects around the country daily.

The North Central College Advantage: 

“North Central helped me prepare for a career in environmental studies, and build a portfolio of what I had completed in my classes, specifically my senior thesis. I was able to show potential employers copies of my projects and publications, which helped set me apart from other candidates.”
