From Current Students: Emory’s Internship Opportunities

Emory students are turning classroom knowledge into real-world impact through internships that challenge and inspire them. Whether it’s doing UX at CNN, practicing healthcare consulting in Sydney, Australia, or working in finance at Invesco, our students are making an impact and jump-starting their careers. In this blog post, hear from current Emory students about their internship journeys and get a firsthand look at the many doors an Emory education can open.

1. Jenny Jiang  |  Apple

“Last summer, I had the incredible opportunity to intern at Apple as a Supply Demand Management Intern, where I analyzed the supply chain across all Apple products. I got to work on a challenging project that was directly relevant to our daily lives as Apple consumers, while opening my eyes to the innovative environment of tech.

Emory’s Goizueta Business School helped me get this internship and provided resources to ensure my success, from providing opportunities sponsored by Fortune 500 companies and offering application-based classes in Information Systems and Operations Management.”

 

2. Ezinne Ifi | CNN

During my summer at CNN, I worked as a UX Research Intern, where I had the opportunity to work on various research projects analyzing audience insights to improve and transform digital experiences.

Emory played a crucial role in helping me secure this opportunity—Goizueta’s CMC office provided resume and interview resources, while campus organizations connected me to larger networks like the T. Howard Foundation and Emma Bowen Fellowship, both of which played pivotal roles in my journey. Additionally, taking classes such as Marketing Analytics and Applied Data Analytics at Emory gave me the skills to excel in my role, allowing me to approach research with a strong analytical foundation. This experience reinforced my passion for user experience and media, and I’m grateful for Emory’s support in getting me there.”

 

3. Josh Shevitz | Invesco

“Over the past summer I had the opportunity to intern with Invesco in Emerging Markets Fixed Income. During the internship, I had the opportunity to research several companies and complete group presentations and investment pitches.

Going to Emory made it easy to network with the company and eventually get the internship. Also, having a built in network from the Emory alumni at the company as well as rooming at Emory over the summer made the experience that much easier and more enjoyable.”

 

 

 

 

2. Sushmita Rajan | Lucid Healthcare Consulting

“Last summer, I had the incredible opportunity to intern at Lucid Healthcare Consulting in Sydney, Australia, thanks to funding from the Pathways Center. During my internship, I gained valuable insights into the Australian healthcare system, regulatory processes, and market dynamics. I created a market accessibility report focusing on regulatory standards and competitive risks for pharmaceuticals and medical devices.

I’m deeply grateful for the Pathways funding and had an amazing time exploring Australia!”

 

 

5. Juan Quintero | PwC

“My name is Juan Quintero and I am a junior in the business school studying Finance, OAM, and French Studies. Last summer I interned at PwC as a Cloud and Digital Consulting Intern in their DC office. Here, I learned about the strategies related to integrating Oracle software for clients. This coming summer I will be furthering my consulting experience as an intern at Bain & Company in their Atlanta Office.”

 

 

 

6. Erin Devine | The Gotham Group & The Screenwriting Life Podcast

“Last summer, I had the opportunity to work with Oscar and Emmy winning & nominated experts as I interned with two companies through Emory’s Media & Entertainment Pathways  Program. As a development intern with The Gotham Group, I had the opportunity to sit in on production meetings for television and feature films, create coverage on scripts in productions, as well as meet the leaders of companies like Disney, Amblin Entertainment, Universal Pictures, and Lucasfilm.

Simultaneously, I also worked as a production intern for The Screenwriting Life Podcast, where I worked for the writers of Inside Out 1 & 2, researching material and guests for upcoming episodes, creating social media content to promote the show, and received advice and feedback firsthand from the writers of some of my favorite media of all time. Without this program, the guidance of Dr. Scott Garner and Dr. David Resha, and Emory’s support, I never would have gotten such an in depth look at the industry—knowledge that helped me get my current academic year internship with NBCUniversal!”
