Employee Spotlight: Meet the Summer 2021 Interns

Q&A with Virtual, Inc. Summer Interns

Meet Isabella Zagami from the Accounting Department!

My name is Isabella Zagami and I am a rising junior at the University of Miami expecting to graduate in 2023. I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in business management. I am currently interning in Client Accounting assisting with both Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable. The company value Trust resonates most with me. I find that trust is essential to form a strong relationship in any aspect of our lives and our work environment is no different. Outside of work, I like to work out, hangout with friends and family, try new restaurants, go to the beach, and travel. I am inspired by my grandfather, Pa. Pa is currently fighting cancer, but always has a smile on his face and a positive attitude. His attitude inspires me to always maintain positivity through the toughest of circumstances.

Meet Ayesha Chari from the Public Relations Department!

My name is Ayesha Chari. I am an economics major at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, and I will graduate in 2024. I am currently a Public Relations and Marketing Intern for the Public Relations department. Before interning at Virtual, I have not had a formal introduction to Public Relations. This internship has introduced me to the corporate world of communications and media relations and is teaching me so much about how that world operates, all in a helpful and welcoming environment. One of the values that resonate with me most is Trust, and I’ve appreciated how much trust has factored into my internship. Even though I am new and less experienced, the people who I work with, since day one, have trusted me to do work and do it well. That freedom and flexibility is really refreshing and rewarding. Outside of work, I like reading and watching television, and I enjoy discussing media with people around me after I watch it. I also love hanging out with my dog. I am really inspired by art in all forms—seeing what other people can do with their creativity makes me want to do the best I can with mine.

Meet Taylor Marchant from the Accounting Department!

Hey there, my name is Taylor Merchant and I am currently a Sophomore at Brown University majoring in economics on the business track. I will graduate in 2024. I am a Billing Systems Intern in the Accounting Department. In my internship here at Virtual, I am most looking forward to learning to collaborate with others in a formal business setting and learning how Virtual Inc. operates. The company value Teamwork resonates with me most. I strongly believe in working with others and find that collaborative work generates the best results. At Virtual, I find the ability to easily reach out to and access others extremely valuable and take advantage of the collaborative work environment daily. I am inspired by my parents. Their hard work has provided me with many opportunities I must make the best of and take advantage of. Outside of work, I am an avid sports fan and I enjoy both playing and watching basketball and soccer.

Meet Ryan Birchfield from the Technology Solutions Department!

I am Ryan Birchfield and I am a rising junior at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. I am majoring in Computer Science and will graduate in May 2022. I am interning for the Technology Solutions department, specifically the Web Team. During my internship, I am really looking forward to learning how the corporate environment works. I’d really like to learn how to work with a client to develop a product to their specifications. Outside of work I enjoy playing video games. My favorite game right now is League of Legends. I think the company value that resonates the most with me is Trust, as it is the single most important factor when it comes to a good working environment to me.
