Luke Bradley

Senior Student IT Web Analyst, Campus Web Services
BSBA. in Management information Systems, Eller College of Management

I've migrated 30 websites, and built 26 pages for the Quickstart documentation site. I've helped some of the newer students any time I can answer their questions, particularly with webforms. I also have helped testing whenever they dev team pushes a new update.

I will be graduating with a 3.8 GPA from the Eller College of Management. I'll be spending time after graduation travelling to some states on the east coast, as well as San Diego to spend time with family before I search for a fulltime position to enter the workforce.

Olivia Irene Lawson

Senior Student IT Web Analyst
BSBA in Management information Systems, Eller College of Management

I stepped outside my comfort zone by taking this role and I could not be more thankful for doing so. It has been so exciting to learn the behind the scenes work that goes into website creation. One of the many exciting websites I have been able to work on is the LGBT site, which has been insightful to learn about the numerous resources members of the lgbt community and allies have on campus. 

I have also been able to graduate from the U of A with a 3.7 GPA and have been nominated into an Eller Alumni Liaison role, so I will be able to continue to give back to young professionals once I enter the workforce. I will be working for Ernst and Young doing Technology Risk Consulting in Chicago.

Catherine Mai

Senior Student IT Web Analyst
BSBA in Management information Systems, Eller College of Management

I have been with Campus Web Services for the past year and have helped with the migration, testing, and launch of over 100 sites during my time. Among the larger projects I have been involved with building are the Arizona Quickstart, Optics, and Housing sites. The best part of my job is undoubtedly working with the other students and full-time employees. It has been my greatest pleasure working with and helping to train the new student employees we have had join our team over this past year. I look forward to seeing them all succeed at Campus Web Services and beyond!

This May, I will be graduating with 4.0 GPA from the Eller College of Management, as from the W.A. Franke Honors College as I complete my thesis on Privacy-Related Factors and Childcare Choice. In July, I will be starting at Epic Systems in Madison, WI as a Client Systems Engineer. Although I will be working full-time and won't be able to return to the U of A campus, I will also be transitioning to the MS MIS Online program to finish my graduate degree alongside work.

Tyler Rhea

Cyber Operations, ISO’s Security Operations Center

I'm very thankful for the time I had with the UA SOC team! I highly recommend applying for this internship (or student worker position) for any of those who are interested! My time there was mostly focused on phishing, which helped to give me a diverse perspective on the attacker mindset. Though, the team is very supportive with your own goals, so please don't hesitate to reach out to them! 

I never imagined graduating, let alone moving to San Francisco for a position with Darktrace. But if I could give any advice to future graduates: apply to internships, job positions, and compete in competitions! The experience you earn here will be worthwhile.

Isabel Sha

Isabel was a sophomore when Infrastructure and Foundational Technologies hired her to assist in various IT projects.  She has grown professionally and continues to be an invaluable team player on the Zoom Phone Transition Project.  She plans to pursue a master’s degree program to continue her path of learning at the University of Arizona.

Michael Tuohy

IT Services Coordinator Student Worker, Telecommunications Services
BA in Computer Science (College of Science) and German Studies (College of Humanities)

Michael’s been a great asset to our team, managing most of our cable assignment needs for adds and moves in the old phone system (5ESS). His knowledge and help in this area has made work on that system go smoothly, especially as we transition to Zoom phone. As we had some staffing challenges, Michael stepped up to the plate and was able to help field calls and emails as well. Sometimes handing someone a stack of work which could be monotonous is daunting, but Michael’s taken that on without issue and like a champ!
