  United Airlines

  May 2024 - Nov 2024

  Intern

  As an intern at the United Airlines Network Operations Center (NOC), I became immersed in a hands-on, in-person role focusing on business continuity and System Network Advanced Planning (SNAP). My primary responsibility within business continuity was to ensure that all teams within the NOC were fully prepared to maintain operations in the face of any disruptions. My experience with SNAP allowed me to gain a macro-view of the airline, understand the primary problems that stations face, and prepare them for any event they may face. This included:- Gaining a comprehensive understanding of each team's functions and requirements to be able to develop programs for assistance in the future.- Identifying and analyzing what each team needs to succeed, especially in the event of an emergency situation.- Developing and refining business continuity strategies to ensure seamless operations under all circumstances.- Creating a robust system in Excel to streamline operations and meet operational initiatives- Conducting in-depth analysis of operational data to identify trends, improve efficiency, and support strategic decision-making.This internship provided a unique opportunity to blend knowledge gained from my academics with practical application, enhancing my skills in crisis management, teamwork, and strategic planning.
