Senior marketing major Noah While efficiently combined his academic knowledge with practical experience through an internship at Red Mansions Realty during his summer break. Throughout his tenure, Noah engaged in a diverse range of marketing activities, including the development of training materials for real estate agents. His contributions encompassed creating training materials for agents on procedures for tenant move-in forms, operating 360 cameras for property reviews, and utilizing marketing tools such as Canva to enhance their market presence.
Additionally, Noah undertook various office tasks that contributed to quality control and operational efficiency. He worked with the handyman to manage minor projects, such as smoke detector installations and worked to strengthen investor relations within the property management and commercial real estate sectors. His responsibilities included maintaining up-to-date investor documentation and loan details, thereby supporting both internal and external stakeholder communication.
Noah noted that the aspect he enjoyed most about his internship was the positive and communicative environment fostered by his colleagues. He commented, “There wasn’t a day that I felt uncomfortable and they really made the workplace fun and easy.” Through this experience, Noah learned that effective communication is essential for the smooth operation of a business and that mastering the art of clear and efficient communication with vendors, investors, and employees significantly enhances organizational flow and success.
The internship provided Noah with great insights into the real estate and property management fields, areas he has been interested in since high school. This experience not only deepened his understanding of the industry but also expanded his professional network in New Braunfels, enhancing his future job prospects.
Noah offers valuable advice to prospective interns to get an early start in their internship search as they can be challenging to obtain. “Once you do get an internship, dive straight in and be the best example of ACU you can possibly be with your work ethic and values that you have learned thus far.”
Noah said that his time at ACU has equipped him in several significant ways. Firstly, it has fostered more independence and confidence in his decision-making. Additionally, the networking opportunities and connections he’s made have been invaluable. Personally, he said “My faith has grown since being at ACU, which has reshaped my perspective on the business world. This most definitely is going to prepare me for life after graduation because keeping God first is what really matters.”
As he reflected on his favorite aspect of being a business major at ACU, Noah said that it’s been getting to know the professors at ACU saying, “You can see God shine through these professors daily while teaching and that is something I will cherish and look up to forever. Hearing that your professors are in the same Bible classes at church or serving as elders is really cool and admirable.”
