Meet Source One's Spring 2018 Interns

You don't get to be a leading Procurement Services Provider without first building a team of talented and dedicated professionals. Source One's internship program aims to identify and empower tomorrow's industry leaders.  Many of our most successful analysts and consultants joined the team as interns, and we're constantly on the hunt for the next addition to this expert team.  We provide these young professionals with hands-on experience in supply management, client services, business development, and more.  Our close-knit culture and diverse service offerings make for a fast-paced, ever-evolving, and consistently interesting internship experience. Contributing to Source One's efforts from day one, our Procurement interns quickly build skills that will prove crucial in whatever field they choose. 

Say hello to the talented interns joining Source One this spring. 

Hello! I'm Olivia LaRocco, and I'm a student at Loyola University Chicago where I study Anthropology and Economics.  I'm 21, and I'm originally from Greeley, Colorado.  When I am not at Source One or studying, you can find me exploring  Chicago's best donut shops, reading a book, walking the Lakefront Trail, or listening to live music.  I also love to travel, watch The Office, This is Us, Seinfeld, and The Bachelor, and enjoy the outdoors by hiking, biking and skiing.

Prior to Joining Source One, I interned at UBS Financial Services under a financial advisor.  Following my internship, I realized I had a passion for finance and joined Loyola's student managed fund in the fall of 2017 as an analyst specializing in currency and fixed income.  I am now on the Investment Committee for Rambler Investment Fund, and expanding my love of finance and portfolio optimization every day.  I'm also involved in several other grounds on campus.  I serve as the President of the Loyola Economics Forum, a Research in the Department of Anthropology, an RA and a high school tutor.

I came to Source One because I have a passion for problem solving.  I am eager to learn more about a career focused in procurement and supply chain management and to test the waters of consulting. So far so good! I am not yet sure what I would like to pursue post-graduation, but for now, I'm exploring my possibilities and enjoying my time in Chicago!  

Hello friends! My name is Ari Markowitz and I hail from the small state of Vermont, where throughout my childhood, I danced, skied and explored as much of the Green Mountains as possible. After graduating from Wesleyan University in 2017, with a degree in Economics and Sociology, I moved to Philadelphia, keen on finding a position where I could apply my technical research and analytic problem solving skills. I was lucky enough to get the Spend Analysis Internship here at Source One, where I am constantly learning in a challenging, and supportive environment. I primarily support the Data Science team in categorizing spend data and maintaining tables in our central database, but I also assist in data-related programming, data analysis, and administrative support. The multifaceted, dynamic nature of this position ensures that I am always engaged. I believe that Source one will not only teach me valuable technical skills, but will also give me a firsthand view of the strategic sourcing strategies and supply chain structures of the global economy.

Nestled in a small valley, surrounded by lush forests and rolling hills, I spent the majority of my childhood cultivating my creative imagination, and developing a strong affinity to the natural world. One day, I hope to marry these values in the work that I do. I enjoy using tools and skills at my disposal to creatively solve problems, and come up with new ideas. It is this creativity that I hope to pair with my love for nature. I aim to someday work in the green energy or environmental fields where I can apply technical problem solving skills to support and improve infrastructure that is designed to reduce adverse human impacts on the planet. I hope that the particular position of S1 in relation to global markets will allow me an exciting perspective on some of the ways in which human economic activity impacts the environment. I look forward to my time here at Source One, and I am grateful for the opportunity to work with such a dedicated and welcoming team.

Hey! My name's Aarthi Murali and I'm a Master student at Rutgers University majoring in Industrial and Systems Engineering.  I moved to the U.S. a year and a half ago and I currently live in New Brunswick, NJ.  I spend most of my free time listening to music and watching a lot of sitcoms.  I also love trying out different kinds of food. 

Prior to working at Source One, my previous internships were in various product based industries and I worked mostly in the Supply Chain and Logistics departments. Source One is the first consulting firm I've worked with.  I was excited to accept the opportunity.

I currently work as a Business Intelligence intern with the Data Science team, and I'm absolutely loving it.  At Source One, I'm getting exposure to numerous business areas and learning to apply analytics outside of the classroom.  So far, the people at Source One have been friendly and warm which makes it a joy to come to work every day.  My interest in analytics has progressed through the internship.  I hope to continue gaining experience and move forward in the field of Analytics and Data Science. 

Hi! My name is Claire Nguyen. I am a senior at the University of Pennsylvania, majoring in Economics and minoring in Hispanic Studies. I grew up and still live in Philadelphia, but I’m determined to travel one day and have a lot of different experiences. In my free time, I enjoy gaming, watching horror movies, and spending time with friends. I am also a Director of a nonprofit and occasionally take trips to New York to visit our partners

Prior to joining Source One, I interned at a full-service advertising and public relations company as the Strategic Planning Intern. My tasks involved conducting and analyzing market research, performing competitive audits, and developing presentations for new business. Having been exposed to various clients and projects, I became interested in supply chain logistics and what factors go into how companies operate and choose to finance one project over another.

I am really excited to be here at Source One! My experience so far has been wonderful because there is a focus on ensuring interns gain experience in categories that they are most interested in. I feel supported and engaged by everyone here. It has also been exciting understanding and supporting the strategy and execution side of consulting and supply chain procurement tactics. My goal at Source One is to develop my data collection, manipulation, and analysis skills and to apply these skills to understand the structures of companies and industries.
