I am excited to apply for the Summer Paid Intern – Digital Strategy role. As a current MS in Business Analytics candidate at Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business, I bring a unique blend of data analytics, digital strategy, and a deep understanding of human rights issues, making me a strong fit for this opportunity. With experience spanning data-driven decision-making, policy research, and advocacy, I have developed a strong ability to analyze trends and translate them into impactful strategies. As a Healthcare Strategy Coordinator at the Institute for Family Health, I used data analytics to optimize healthcare delivery, leading initiatives that improved patient outcomes. Additionally, my work as a Policy Researcher for the Human Rights Law Network allowed me to use data to advocate for marginalized communities. I have drafted policy briefs for the Supreme Court of India, the Government of India, and international organizations, driving awareness and actionable change.
My passion for data-driven storytelling extends to my recent Web Analytics project, where I analyzed IKEA’s customer service operations using sentiment analysis from TrustPilot and Reddit. By leveraging Python, SQL, and Tableau, I provided actionable recommendations to enhance customer engagement. This, combined with my experience leading advocacy initiatives like Together We Can—which connects women to legal and global trafficking rehabilitation resources—demonstrates my ability to bridge data insights with human rights advocacy. I am eager to bring my analytical mindset, digital strategy expertise, and commitment to social impact to your team. I welcome the opportunity to further discuss how my background aligns with your organization’s goals. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
