Hello Guys!

My name is Simerjot Sidhu, a senior at the Fox School of Business. This past summer and December break, I interned at AmeriHealth Caritas. I worked at the Information Systems department. Most of my duties were on the Quality Assurance side. I created and designed test plans/cases to be used during manual and automated testing. I also automated numerous tests that were apart of larger national projects. One tool which I recommend everyone to be familiar one is SQL. Even knowing the basis of SQL is beneficial. If you have any more questions about my role, please let me know!

Have a good day!

My name is Danielle Sumislaski, and I am currently working as a Regional Marketing, Promotions, and Sponsorships Intern at Subaru of America, Inc. in Cherry Hill, NJ.

Hello Everyone! I hope you all had a great holiday season. My name is Theodore Wilks, and I am a senior MIS major here at the Fox School of Business. This past summer, I interned at AmeriHealth Caritas in their Program Integrity department as a Business Analyst. My main responsibilities included providing project level support in the elicitation of business requirements, conducting interviews with project stakeholders and SME’s and assessing departmental wide impacts to the business process. If you’ve taken MIS 3504 (Digital Design and Innovation, otherwise known as the BA class) you know exactly what I’m talking about, and if you haven’t as yet, don’t worry. I can honestly say that class thoroughly prepared me for my role. Almost all of what I learned during class, I was able to apply while working. During my internship, I even brought in my books (Seven Steps to Mastering Business Analysis and Memory Jogger), met with the Senior Business Analyst who had been guiding me, and we discussed and documented new ways for managing different projects. If you have any questions about my role, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Hello fellow members of MIS 3581! My name is Kyle Domsohn and I am a senior in the Fox Business School. I am interning for the Accolade Management Services in King of Prussia, PA. One of the services provided by Accolade is the management of associations. I first started with Accolade in August when they first acquired the association, ISOP (the Insurance Society of Philadelphia). As a business analyst, my first project was to analyze, document, and implement a solution for ISOP’s in-state operational procedure. After the success of my first project, I am now working on my second project, the analysis of ISOP’s out-of-state procedures. Since each state has a unique set of requirements, my main focus thus far has been researching and documenting the requirements for each out-of-state. During this analysis, I extensively work with Accolade’s Microsoft Access database and rely on Microsoft Excel to document and organize the requirements of each out-of-state.

Hello everyone, my name is Nick Hockley and I am a graduating MIS major. I have been working part-time at SEI Investments since October and am currently working within the operations department providing data quality assistance on the business intelligence team. Since my start I have worked on developing multiple procedures and processes, participated in the development of various ad-hoc reports, and reorganized old and uploaded new files to our department’s sharepoint. More specifically, I created a privacy breach procedure that is now integrated on their sharepoint and used across the operations department. Along with the procedure I developed an awareness campaign that will be integrated into the future new hire process for our department. This is an example of one of the things I have done so far at SEI, if you have any questions on my approach to developing these procedures feel free to reach out!

Hi classmates,

I am a former Business Services Sales Operations Intern for Comcast Corporation, and a junior Finance and MIS double major. As an intern at Comcast, I worked at the company’s headquarters on a variety of back-office tasks, and I supported many different teams within the Business Services department of the company.

I wore many hats for the company, and thoroughly enjoyed my experiences supporting Philadelphia’s largest company.

Hello everyone,
My name is Alex Charles and I am currently working for QVC in the Corporate Procurement department. I started at QVC last May as a procurement intern and my main job was doing a lot of back-end support on our custom built P2P system. Since then I have transitioned into a technology buyer role where I do data analytics and negotiations with vendors to come up with the best prices for on premise software systems, SaaS agreements, and technology infrastructure. I also help with requisitions for all of the devices that our application development team uses for testing so I always have my hands on the latest tech toys. I will be continuing this internship until June when I will then become full-time.

Hello everyone, my name is Courtney Kasztelan and I am currently working for ReminderMedia, the producer of American Lifestyle magazine, in King of Prussia. I started in August as a Business Development intern where I learned how to use ReminderMedia’s custom CRM system and eventually helped input data. Other roles included internet research for the company and working with the sales team to identify potential leads. Also, each week of the internship, we focused on a different area of the company to fully understand how the data is used and why it is important and had meetings every day with the intern coordinator and fellow interns. After completing the internship in December, I was asked to come back this semester as a Business Intelligence intern. This role will be less about imputing data into the CRM and more about solving complex business intelligence problems for the company using programs such as SAS Enterprise Miner and SQL. Right before I left in December, I worked with the current Business Intelligence team on an SAS project using large sets of data to try to figure out ideal customers for ReminderMedia. I start up again tomorrow, so I am anxious to see what the new projects are and how the SAS project has progressed.

Hi David! During my time at AZ, I worked in two different IT departments. My first job assignment was under the US Commercial IT department, and then my next assignment was under the Global IT department. I really enjoyed my time working in the pharmaceutical industry.
