Naajia Ahmed completed internships with J.M. Huber Corporation over two summers where she gained experience in environmental health and safety and applied knowledge to her field of study. During her internships, she analyzed Huber's metrics programs, created entries for investigation reports and permit exceedances in Enablon, assessed sustainability aspects of sites, and worked on compliance plans, record keeping of injuries and fines, and mine tours. She collaborated with various employees and applied her experience to courses in environmental economics, ethics, and law.
