In summer 2024, four Daytona Beach students had the opportunity to intern with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) — gaining experience with real-world aviation safety practices while utilizing the skills and knowledge they’ve gained at Embry-Riddle. “The NTSB benefited from having these bright young minds, and hopefully the students found the program to be a valuable learning experience,” said Robert Sumwalt, executive director of the university’s Boeing Center for Aviation and Aerospace Safety and former NTSB chairman.
The Boeing Center for Aviation and Aerospace Safety also provided a $5,000 stipend to support each NTSB intern — providing financial support throughout the experience. The internship experience was “a dream come true” for U.S. Navy veteran Sierra Juliano (’26), who has her heart set on working for the NTSB. “I have gained so much hands-on experience and have interacted with all the different offices within the NTSB to learn how each person contributes during an investigation,” said Juliano. With a passion for accident investigation and aviation safety, Natasha Mahadeo (’25) hopes to eventually work as an NTSB investigator — and this internship was the perfect launchpad.
