Isaiah Lopez and
Victoria Kashiwai, students in the Shidler College of Business’ School of Accountancy, used their data analytic skills to measure the company’s performance, collaborate online to create a video presentation and pitch their business strategy virtually to a panel of
CPAs and business professionals who simulated Pueblo’s management team.
“I am looking to pursue a career in professional services and the TrueUp Student Innovation Challenge provided me with a valuable taste of what my future might be,” Kashiwai said. “In addition to the opportunity to learn from and collaborate with my colleagues, this challenge has given me the experience to utilize raw data to measure performance and create proposals to improve a client’s business. I look forward to using the skills that I have learned in my future professional career.”
