What makes a good business? If you would have asked me this question a few months ago, I likely would have replied with some form of “if the business is making lots of money.” While this is true, this is only one of many factors that are important in a good business. During the summer, being able to work for a private equity firm has taught me a wealth of knowledge about evaluating businesses. I spend a portion of my day reading Confidential Information Memorandums about various business service/industrial businesses. Confidential Information Memorandums are essentially marketing materials tha ..read more

I wanted to wait until the end of my internship to finally share what I have learned and what I feel were the most important aspects of my time at Spoten. Even though the internship ended last Friday, the 14th, I had to think a little bit of how much I grew in these past 9 weeks. It was obviously not as close to what I thought my summer internship would be like this last summer before senior year: joining colleagues for coffee in the morning, moving from place to place continuously to do my tasks, and talking in person with people that could inspire me. However, I am really privileged to even ..read more

This Thursday will be the last day of my internship and it has caused me to reflect on my initial goals and objectives. When originally looking for an internship, I wanted any experience I could get. Now, looking back, I would give myself a few pieces of advice. The first would be that any experience is good experience. I was tasked with a few difficult projects this summer, but they gave me great experience in many areas, including critical thinking and problem solving. The second is to never be afraid to ask questions. I was supervised by a group of people who were always open to any questio ..read more

I have always prided myself on the approach of doing things differently, by adding a creative twist and working harder to bring ideas to life. I believe that innovation is what pushes us forward to an incredible future. Innovation comes from seeing that the way we do things can be better, utilizing our unique perspective. This is the mindset that I brought with me to this summer’s internship at NBCUniversal. I felt even more empowered that my business unit, Advertising and Partnerships, is led by our industry-defining chairwoman, Linda Yaccarino. She encourages us to bring about change by work ..read more

For someone my age, technology does not always come easily and I have often noticed I have to spend more time to learn new skills in this area. During my virtual internship this summer, technology is more important than ever. I realized I needed to develop my skills in data analytics by utilizing my stronger skills, problem solving and communication. I am currently working on a slot utilization report that requires in depth understanding and use of google sheets, pivot tables, and data analytics. Almost all the work that I have done required outside learning which was aided with YouTube tutori ..read more
