Introducing NYPA’s Interns

Welcome to NYPA’s 2018 Summer Intern blog series. Each week, we’ll be featuring several interns working across NYPA’s various sites and departments. Read on to learn more about our interns and why they chose to work at NYPA!

Eamon Gekakis is interning with the RSC & Technical Compliance department at NYPA's White Plains office. He is from Fishkill, NY and is studying Electrical Engineering at SUNY Maritime. He said his favorite classes there have been Signals & Systems because it was “difficult but rewarding to master” and Discrete Mathematics in Python because he was able to “learn theoretical mathematics and apply it to a prominent coding language.” He also said he finds power generation the most interesting part of the energy industry because it relates to his major and “generators are cool.” Eamon explained how he enjoys learning about every aspect of NYPA because it links engineering with tech innovation, economics, and data analysis, which are all topics he is interested in, and in five years, he hopes to be working in the electrical engineering field.

Anjali Chaturvedi is interning with the Financial Planning Department at NYPA’s White Plains office. She is from Jersey City, NJ and is currently pursuing a Master’s in Energy & Environment Policy with a minor in Finance from New York University. She said that her favorite classes have been Energy & Resource Security and Global Electricity Markets & Policy because they deepen her “understanding of concepts from economics and finance in the energy sector.” Regarding the energy industry, she is most interested in wholesale power markets and how economics and policy impact them, and she explained that she enjoys working at NYPA because “NYPA is truly an innovative company” and working here gives her “motivation to be proactive.” In five years, Anjali hopes to be working professionally in energy finance, learning more about the field, and travelling around the world.

Harrison Kern is interning with the Treasury department at NYPA's White Plains office. He is from Randolph, NJ and is currently pursuing degrees in Economics and Philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania. He said his favorite classes at school so far have been Behavioral Economics and Corporate Finance. He also explained that the most interesting part of the energy industry to him is “the growth potential for the sector as a whole and the way that new clean energy technologies have changed the way that we look at power.” Harrison’s favorite part of working at NYPA has been meeting the “really welcoming and insightful people” in the Treasury department.
