Summer Internship 2023
In the summer of 2023, I worked as a marketing and communication Intern in Rome, Italy. In this role, I utilized my practice and knowledge of business cases from my capstone strategic management course at the University of Arizona. Throughout the summer, I completed an external analysis of Porter's 5 Forces Model and PESTEL Model, an internal analysis of their different departments and sectors, a SWOT analysis, and an assessment of current strategies. From this data, I recommended strategies for the company to adopt into its current business practices.
While in Europe, I explored 24 countries. This experience significantly enhanced my communication, adaptability, and problem-solving skills. I thoroughly enjoyed taking the time to personally understand and appreciate each country's diverse culture. For about half of this journey, I traveled with friends; for the other half, I challenged my independence by adventuring solo. Every day, I discover more and more how much this summer has profoundly impacted my personal growth and deepened my interest in international business. Overall, this immersive travel experience was transformative as it instilled a broader worldview and prepared me for the dynamic challenges of business and life.
