Vanguard Internship

Presented data-driven recommendations to improve quality and efficiency of transactions that are processed for our institutional clients. Utilized pivot tables daily and vlookups to analyze over 140,000 transactions from multiple data sources.
Designed a cross-department liaison program along with four peers as part of a group capstone project.
Increased my financial acumen by watching analyst research calls and reading white papers published by the Investment Strategy Group; proceeded to discuss interpretations from these white papers with ISG.
I worked to promote Apple's educational mission across the University's campus.
Faculty
Hosted workshops at the School of Business and College of Medicine to show relevant ways to use Apple technology in the classroom.
Our medical school was about to launch a 1:1 iPad initiative, so I walked faculty through creating content for iBooks, utilizing iTunes U to distribute interactive content, and incorporating interactive apps like Pocket Anatomy into lessons.
Our business school does not have a 1:1 iPad initiative, so I helped faculty find ways to teach using iPad even when their students may not have the technology - for example, by mirroring the iPad to a projector and using a financial calculator app to teach students the functions of financial calculators.
Invited to present at Appy Hour on the medical campus.
Students
I hosted many workshops for students and tabled at all student orientations, move-in days, concerts, and more to showcase Apple technology.
Hosted workshop for our University-Sponsored student service organization to help them utilize iPad for recruitment, event management, and participant tracking.
Helped student athletes use iPad to more effectively take notes in class.
Ensured a smooth iOS-based check-in process for the Business School's student council events.
Program-wide leadership
Presented on campus marketing and student engagement to Campus Store managers at nine higher-ed institutions across the state of Utah. Based on the success of this presentation, I was able to work with our regional campus program manager to present best practices or student engagement and campus marketing via WebEx to eleven Campus Stores across five states!
Invited to prepare projects for next year's Campus Reps based on success at the University of Utah - created a case study on engaging student groups on campus to inspire them to utilize new technologies.
Featured in recruiting materials for the next school year!
Off-site
Invited to present on iPad in Education at Utah Valley University and Utah State University of their technology fairs.
I led a project to relocate a manufacturing team to an area with ten fewer square meters.
Used OmniGraffle to spaghetti-chart current manufacturing workflows and provide proof-of-concept for efficiency improvements.
Led three iterations of feedback from team members to give them a voice into the optimal machine layout in the new location.
Worked with IT and maintenance crews to bring required infrastructure to the exact points where it was needed.
I used masking tape to indicate exactly where each machine will sit, and the physical relocation was flawlessly executed within 45 minutes due to detailed planning.
I took initiative to propose revamping manufacturing tracking from manual tracking on a whiteboard to automated tracking through Google Sheets. After my proof of concept, we launched a trial run with a single team, which worked just as expected. I helped teach team supervisors how to analyze the data in Excel and showed corporate trainers how to implement this tracking system across other manufacturing teams, as interest was rising.
