Maine Department of Environmental Protection
In this internship, Morgane Treanton compiled and edited an environmental workbook for schools to obtain a certification if they are progressive and environmentally friendly. She also worked on creating an 8-page energy benchmarking bulletin for all the districts in Maine. Lastly, she transferred data from one department to another which entailed creating flat files and data quality check. She gained a lot of knowledge by 1) working across several agencies that do not normally communicate among each other, 2) working under pressure because of short deadlines, 3) improvising final project products because of a change in commissioner, and 4) gaining expertise on energy efficiency.
