MAJOR Business Administration- Management HOMETOWN Milwaukee, Wis. ORGANIZATION Professional Smiley Events Stevens Point, Wis. TITLE
Intern/Advisory Board Member
What I did: I prepared individual tax returns for the 2020 tax season. What I liked: Before I did my internship, I was very intimidated by tax accounting. I had experience in business accounting, but this put me outside my comfort zone. I liked that I got to experience this part of accounting and now I feel more comfortable preparing tax returns. Future Dream Job: My dream job is controller or accounting manager for a business in Central Wisconsin.
What I did: Completely virtual, as an advisory board member I took responsibility for a new initiative in fall 2020, in which I handled both the technical and the organizational details of posting event recordings online and tracking student engagement with the videos. In spring 2021 as an intern, I planned and demonstrated creativity as well as attention to detail while planning an online presentation to our students by Milwaukee entrepreneur Henry Schwartz who appeared on “Shark Tank.” Hosting Pro Events, I also helped with conducting online discussions with local business leaders. I also helped plan Lunch with a Leader and future events for the School of Business and Economics. What I liked: I loved being able to be a part of the Q&A session I hosted with local business leaders and how I was able to build my network connection and overall confidence and professionalism. Future Dream Job: I would love to be a business analyst as the end goal, but anything within HR and finance is the role I am pursuing!
