Domenica Ferraro is a fifth year undergraduate student at The Pennsylvania State University.  She is currently pursuing her Bachelor of Architectural Engineering degree with an emphasis on building mechanical systems, and she will graduate in May 2008.  Her hometown is Gibsonia, Pennsylvania, a suburb north of Pittsburgh.

Domenica has interned every summer that she has been in college.  During the first two summers, she worked for Turner Construction Company in Pittsburgh, PA.  She reported to the project site every day and gained valuable knowledge of the construction process.  During the last two summers, she had the opportunity to intern for Michael Baker Jr. Corporation in Moon Township, PA.  This internship gave her professional work experience in HVAC design.  Domenica is very thankful for the experience she has gained over the years, and would like to express her thanks to everyone who has given her such opportunities.

While at Penn State, Domenica has been involved in volunteer work for the Women in Engineering Program (WEP).  She has helped recruit high school girls interested in engineering by sending out letters and giving tours.  Also, she has served as a leader in WEP’s “Girl Scout Saturday” program, in which she designed and led activities to help local Girl Scout troops earn their math and science merit badges.  In her free time, she enjoys working out, cooking, and watching Penn State Football and all Pittsburgh professional sports teams.  Upon graduation, she will be working for Mueller Associates in Baltimore.
