Bryant University, 2019, Applied Math & Statistics

Internship

I was given the chance to work on various open-ended projects such as testing the efficiency/accuracy of current processes and developing new methodologies for analyses. Through these projects I was able to learn about the healthcare industry, develop new technical and non-technical skills, and identify a future career path. As a sophomore in college, the income was also a plus!

Career

The work I’m doing is constantly changing, which allows me to develop new skills and acquire new knowledge. Every day I’m humbled by vast amount of information others have about the healthcare industry and analytics, which motivates me to keep growing. The people on my team (and throughout the company) are smart and hard-working yet enjoy having fun conversations—even on a Teams call.

Internship

I interned with Human Resources and what better place to start, given HR’s connectivity across the whole organization. I got exposure into talent management, goal setting, development, payroll, and other aspects of HR. Most important, I quickly developed the sense of what it meant to be part of an organization whose mission was bigger than any one individual or function, given the immense impact we have on Rhode Island as a whole. I was hooked!

Career

I’ve immensely enjoyed having such a wide variety of exposure to roles across product, segment, strategy, planning, quality, sales, operations. I’ve been so fortunate to have mentors and leaders along the way that have not only given me these opportunities but, recognizing what I wanted out of my career, pushed me to grow and develop in a way that has gotten to me to where I am today.

Providence College, 2022, Political Science

Internship

My internship as a public relations intern within the Corporate Communications Department was incredibly rewarding. I applied what I was learning in the classroom in a corporate setting and learned that working in communications is the right career path for me.

Career

I have enjoyed seeing the difference BCBSRI can make in the lives of Rhode Islanders. Before my internship, I had no idea that a health insurer could positively impact so many people's lives beyond the world of healthcare. From BlueAngel Community Health Grants to the LGBTQ Safe Zone program–I have seen first-hand how impactful this organization can be and how associates care about their communities.
