SUMMER 2022 | Part-time | Richmond, VA

In between my undergraduate and graduate degrees I wanted to continue my professional development in the marketing industry and thus I spent the summer working with the VBS marketing team in the Richmond office. I collaborated with executives and the sales team in organizing existing business practices. It was a great opportunity to learn about a new industry and continue to sharpen my marketing skills.

  • Conducted systematic research of SIC codes across multiple sectors, reducing documents retrieval time by 40%.

  • Created detailed Excel spreadsheet with analysis on variations of SIC code for the internal sales team.
