Working at Vertex as a marketing intern has proven to be very different from my other internship experiences. After working in London and back home on Long Island, Vertex has allowed me to mold my own experience. I work on things that I think are important and have been helping them to develop a unique marketing mix for their client base. Coming from the Villanova Business School, I was led to believe that internships are very structured and boring, full of stupid tasks like getting coffee and filing. This has not been the case at Vertex. I was immediately entrusted with a series of very important tasks and have worked directly with most of the staff members. The team atmosphere brings in a feeling of the “Vertex family” that is warm and welcoming to all of its employees as well as clients. This place is full of jokes and laughter, all the while keeping a distinct focus on the goal of the organization--serving its clients. After working out with Shala, I can see how Vertex uses its unique program to help its clients reach their fitness goals. Those are all my thoughts for now. 

Tip for the day: Walk to class or run to the gym instead of driving. It’ll help get you in the zone to work out or get focused.
