Out of the MIS classes I’ve taken, I’ve leveraged Cloud Architecture the most during my internship last summer. Since I was a part of the CORE (Cloud Operations Resilience Engineering) tech division, I spoke with a lot of software engineers and product managers who worked with Capital One’s software and tools they used related to the cloud. I was able to understand the lingo they used because of my experience from my classes and connect it back to why the organization does or used a specific feature. I would overhear conversations of why certain segments should switch to AWS because of X, Y, and Z—and it was really nice that I was able to follow along in conversations. Aside from my MIS classes, I’ve also leveraged what I’ve learned from the business communications class I took. In the class, I learned how to write professionally, present to an audience, and developed interpersonal skills that I used daily from crafting clear emails and summaries for leadership to speaking confidently in meetings with directors and teammates. I learned how to tailor my communication style depending on the audience, which was crucial for presenting findings from focus groups or coordinating large-scale events.
