Intern Summer Snapshot #3

With August in full swing, our 2022 summer internship is coming to a close. Our interns have spent the last 10 weeks contributing to different teams throughout Actian. For the third installment of our Intern Summer Series, we take an in-depth look at what our interns, Madeline Heath and Gabrielle Kray, have been up to this summer!

Madeline Heath
Marketing Intern

Maddie hat ihren Sommer als Marketing-Praktikantin in der Marketing-Abteilung verbracht, wo sie in erster Linie für die Verwaltung des ActianBlogs und die Verschlagwortung aller ActianInhalte in Uberflip zuständig ist - einer Marketing-Software, für die sie jetzt zertifiziert ist. Außerdem ist sie für die Verwaltung anderer zusätzlicher Projekte wie die Organisation von Inhalten, Marktforschung in der Branche und Website-Inhalte für das Führungsteam zuständig.

She is most grateful for the continued development of her project management skills and aptitude for efficient processes. She also realized how much she appreciates the “little parts” of the team experience especially when working remotely like good morning messages and gifs that make Actian such a community.

Auch wenn ihre Zeit als Praktikantin nun zu Ende geht, wird sie nie vergessen, wie wunderbar es war, sich mit so aufgeweckten Gleichgesinnten in ihrer Praktikantenklasse anzufreunden und wie sehr sie von allen Mitgliedern des ActianTeams gefördert wurde - insbesondere von ihrer Managerin Kimmah Shah und ihrer Kollegin Mollie Kendall.

Gabrielle Kray
Employee Experience Intern

Gabrielle -Actian’s very own Employee Experience Intern- has spent her summer working within the Employee Experience team renovating the New Hire Orientation process. Gabrielle conducted extensive research and utilized the software Camtasia to build an Asynchronous New Hire Orientation.

This orientation, soon available on Actian Academy, expanded upon the content of the initial curriculum used for orientation, allowing for more detailed and digestible information. A lot of care was also put into ensuring that the information is presented in a way that is much more interactive, flexible, and provides new hires with easy to reference materials to be used in the future. Working on such an essential part of the onboarding process has equipped Gabrielle with an understanding of what to look for when joining a company, how to map out a vision prior to execution, and some slick video editing skills!

Gabrielle has enjoyed her internship and is grateful to her Manager, Sara Lou, and Buddy, Rae Coffman-Bueb, for providing her with a comfortable and invigorating work environment. The passion they bring to their work and the people of Actian is inspiring!

If you are a student interested in gaining real-world experience and tangible skills and want to foster your own professional growth in a flexible virtual setting, we encourage you to submit your resume for consideration for our Actian Summer Internship Program!
