My assigned projects and programs ranged from software development, new client implementation, and cross-business implementation. While my experience was specific to IT, I was fortunate to broaden my proficiency in project management with assignments to projects led by different departments across UHCG, from the marketing and creative department to client management, legal and underwriting departments. I especially enjoyed the transition between business groups and teams each day, and the variety of project types I was exposed to. This role allowed me to expand on skills in project management, business relations, communication, and team management, as well as the ever-evolving world of IT. Show less
