STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: Miranda Ran Wang

Miranda Ran Wang shares her interning experience at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the largest accounting and business consultancy firm in the world:

"My internship with PwC was an exceptional learning experience. Our group - Market Information & Data Analytics - is a unique team within the firm dedicated to analyzing and distributing market information to PwC engagement teams in over 158 different countries. Through my internship, I was able to learn and apply different kinds of technology tools to process large volumes of fund data and generate reports for our engagement teams. My role in the team was to assist senior analysts with the pricing of derivatives swaps such as interest rate swaps, credit default swaps and FX forwards. One thing I learned is that it is important for any intern to be proactive and take initiative. Although the seniors in the group are incredibly busy, they are also very helpful and open-minded. Do not be afraid to ask questions or make a mistake, that is how we learn new things and progress. I am looking forward to graduating in two months and starting my career in the public accounting field."

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: Séverine Perrin

Séverine shares her interning experience working atOneWorld Inc.:

“Working at OneWorld Inc. has been a very interesting and exiting experience for me. OneWorld is a small enterprise that partners with leading pharmaceutical, diagnostic and device companies to design, develop and deploy global information-exchange solutions across the continuum of healthcare delivery.

Learning about a new and highly regulated pharmaceutical industry is challenging but critical in understanding the big picture. As part of the Research & Development team, I am directly involved in making strategic decisions, developing new trends and products and studying new market opportunities. I have the opportunity to develop my project management skills by working directly with several outsourcing partners. I am building direct client relationships by training them on key programs and applications customized for them by OneWorld. My business acumen and communication skills have considerably helped me better understand the strategy of the firm and be more proactive in my role within OneWorld.

Doing several internships throughout my MBA, provided me with the opportunity to apply my classroom experience to my work, gain cross-cultural understanding and better envision my next career step.”
