Maggie Golden is a 5th year Architectural Engineering student, focusing in the lighting and electrical option at Penn State. She is the current President of the Penn State Student Chapter of IES (Illuminating Engineering Society) and in May 2015, she will graduate with an integrated Master and Bachelor of Architectural Engineering. She recently passed the Lighting Certification Examination which she took in November 2014 and she will also gain EIT status upon graduation.

In the past four summers, Maggie has interned at two different companies. During the summers of 2011, 2012 and 2013, she worked at Brinjac Engineering in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on their Lighting Studio team. Maggie also had the opportunity to study abroad in Rome, Italy for 7 weeks in the Summer of 2013. Recently, Maggie worked for Horton Lees Brogden Lighting Design in Boston, Massachusetts. She is incredibly thankful for these opportunities not only for the lighting design experiences but also for the opportunities to grow through her travels and personal experiences both abroad and closer to home. Upon graduation, Maggie will be working for Lam Partners in Cambrigde, Massachusetts.

Outside of school, Maggie enjoys yoga, reading and hanging out with her family, friends, and her adorable niece and nephew. She is also an amateur movie critic but always ends up allowing her judgment to be clouded by the site rotten tomatoes.

She is excited to graduate, work hard, and eventually create her happily ever after.
