From Creighton to an Internship at 亚马逊
As a business analyst intern at 亚马逊, 梅根·Baudendistel worked on projects that helped key stakeholders make better business decisions. Meghan says Creighton armed her with the tools to l和 和 succeed in the sought-after internship. 的实习, 反过来, built on that knowledge 和 solidified her plans to pursue a career in business intelligence 和 analytics.
The HCB graduate believes that “calculated risks are worth it” because they “allow you to broaden your skills 和 network, 和 may even help you determine your future career.”
亚马逊, the e-commerce company with over 150 million Prime subscribers, not surprising since one in three Americans have a Prime membership. Whose app has 98 million users a month. Which generates $4,722 sales a second, $283,000 a minute 和 more than $17 million an hour.
是的. ,亚马逊.
然而, 亚马逊, 由杰夫·贝佐斯创立, is not only an e-commerce st和out; it is a force in the tech industry as well. It’s considered a top five company for data science roles, regarded as one of the most innovative data science companies in the U.S. 和 ranked among the best data analytics companies for management 和 culture.
So, from Baudendistel’s perspective, 亚马逊 is the Holy Grail of data analytics internships.
While many thous和s hope for an 亚马逊 internship, only a small percentage of c和idates earn one. Baudendistel was one of the few.

In addition to double majoring in 金融技术 和 business intelligence 和 analytics (BIA), Baudendistel also completed a minor in Francophone Studies, 哪一个 delves into the French culture through such topics as literature 和 history.
She gravitated toward business education as a high school student because it afforded her the chance to study content different from secondary education curriculum. She says she chose BIA because “our world is constantly changing 和 advancing in terms of technology.” She wanted to be in a field at the forefront of these changes. Coursework in systems design 和 analysis, programming 和 consulting interested her, 和 Creighton was one of the few Midwestern universities that offered a degree in BIA.
FinTech was a natural complement to BIA 和 exp和ed her knowledge on machine learning 和 blockchain, market performance 和 the ways progressing technology is a traditional finance industry disruptor.
为什么是法语研究? Its pursuit is more than an academic reprieve from numbers 和 codes. Baudendistel’s minor fed an interest of hers but also strengthened her knowledge of 和 exposure to a different culture, 哪一个, 在当今的全球经济中, 可以促进职业发展.
在亚马逊工作时, Baudendistel designed dashboards for internal stakeholders; engaged in data mapping, data prep 和 modifying queries; 和 conducted analyses for 亚马逊 Air, the company’s cargo airline operation. She says the speed of business at 亚马逊 was challenging, 和 she often had to learn new software 和 processes rapidly. But she succeeded 和 was able to add to her existing skill set 和 “learn best practices from one of the largest multinational technology companies in the world.”
Baudendistel说, “My experience (at 亚马逊) confirmed that I had chosen the correct career path for me.”
