Cherub's Ziptern Journey: Unlocking Business Potential at Comsat Architects

This summer, Cherub is taking her knowledge from her studies in Financial Management and Business Data Analytics and putting it into action. As a Business Administration Intern, she is delving into the world of finance, learning the intricacies of recording transactions and accurately accounting for expenses and revenues. This hands-on experience is providing Cherub with a solid foundation in financial management, a vital skill in today's dynamic business landscape.

Commuting to and from work can be daunting, especially in a new city. However, Cherub tackled this obstacle head-on. Before starting her internship, she connected with another UA student, Connor, who was interning at the same company. Recognizing that they both faced the same challenge, they decided to carpool. This not only saved on gas but also increased accountability for both of them. It's amazing to see how students at The University of Akron support and uplift each other!

Cherub has been entrusted with the task of organizing and presenting large datasets in a clean and meaningful manner. Through this, she is sharpening her analytical skills and gaining a deeper understanding of the power of data-driven decision-making in the business world. By enhancing her ability to organize and treat data effectively, Cherub is setting herself up for success in her future career.

Cherub's internship has not only provided her with valuable industry insights but has also solidified her passion for pursuing a career in the business field. She has found immense joy and fulfillment in her internship, which has given her the reassurance that she is on the right path. This firsthand experience has made Cherub more confident in her choice to study Financial Management and Business Data Analytics.

For future Zips searching for a college that has internships or co-op programs, Cherub has some advice: Just go for that internship! Cherub understands the initial fear of stepping into a new workforce, especially in a different city. However, in just one week, she has experienced significant personal growth and realized that it's not as intimidating as it seems. People genuinely strive to provide the best possible experience for interns, and the benefits extend beyond the summer. Cherub is certain that this internship will positively impact her studies at The University of Akron.

As you prepare to shape your own college journey, remember that internships and co-op opportunities are invaluable experiences. They allow you to apply what you learn in the classroom, gain crucial skills and explore your field of interest. Just like Cherub, you might discover a newfound sense of confidence and fulfillment in your chosen path.
