Internship Spotlight: Emma Stentz

We asked Emma Stentz, a rising fourth-year undergraduate architecture student, about her summer internship at Spectrum Design in Roanoke, VA.

“Since my first month, I’ve had the chance to take on more responsibility—contributing to drawing sets, participating in internal reviews, and observing client and coordination meetings. These experiences have given me a deeper understanding of how projects evolve and how different disciplines work together throughout the design process.

The best part of this experience has absolutely been the people. The Spectrum team has been beyond welcoming, kind, and always willing to go the extra mile to support their interns. I feel incredibly lucky to be part of this family, and I hope I am lucky enough to return in the future to continue contributing to their impactful projects across the Southwest Virginia region and beyond.”
