Turning Data and Real‑World Experience into Insight

I'm an International Business student at CU Denver graduating in December, and I want to start my career in tech sales. This summer I interned at Intapp doing cold outreach to commercial real estate firms, and it confirmed something I'd already noticed in other jobs: I like talking to people and building relationships.

sales internship

My first look at sales

At Intapp I did cold outreach to commercial real estate firms: researching accounts, making calls, and passing meetings to account executives. It showed me how pipeline actually gets built, and it's a big reason I want to keep learning sales.

The analytical side

Projects where I dug into the data, found what mattered, and turned it into a recommendation someone could act on.

A little more about me

I've had that kind of work in a lot of places, like managing lifeguard teams, working with brokers and property managers at the Downtown Denver Partnership, and volunteering in the Dominican Republic and British Virgin Islands. What ties it together is that I like figuring out how messy situations work and making them work better. I pay attention to details, and I like digging into data to find something I can actually share with the person I'm working with. My Business Analytics minor and my SQL and Python work have made me comfortable doing that.

The analysis work at the Partnership and in my Coding for Data program showed me I'm good at both sides of this, talking to people and making sense of the numbers behind what they need. Outside of class I'm active in FAM and Sales Club at CU Denver.
