UCA Internships and Cooperative Education is proud to announce Tymera Marsh as the 2025–26 Intern of the Year. Marsh, a senior majoring in Marketing major and minoring in Computer Information Systems, was nominated by Dr. Tom Snyder and earned this recognition through an exceptional internship experience at Apptegy, a Little Rock-based SaaS company specializing in school-community communication.
Marsh served as a Client Experience Intern within Apptegy’s Client Success division, where she supported more than 2,000 shared client accounts. Her responsibilities included content migration, website design improvements, data accuracy updates, and guiding clients through technical processes. However, it was her initiative beyond those assigned duties that set her apart.
Her most significant contribution came when she independently identified a gap in an existing client workflow and took complete ownership of redesigning it. Working on behalf of the client, Marsh led a multi-phase project using spreadsheets and Jira, coordinated team meetings, created instructional recordings, and strategically delegated tasks based on her teammates’ strengths. Her leadership helped meet the client’s deadline, restored client trust, and significantly improved overall client sentiment — a project that drew high praise from Apptegy’s Vice President of Client Experience, Ashley Coleman.
Coleman described Marsh as “a natural leader” who exemplified initiative, drive, and originality, noting that she stepped into a leadership role and coordinated the work of four colleagues. Impressed by her performance, Apptegy has already offered Marsh a full-time position upon her graduation.
Marsh credits her growth to Apptegy’s collaborative culture and her mentor and says the experience transformed her professional outlook entirely. She now serves as a mentor to three fellow students on campus. Marsh’s leadership and dedication are no surprise to those who know her. Throughout her four years at UCA, she has been actively involved in multiple student organizations and has consistently served as a mentor and campus leader.
Congratulations, Tymera, on this well-deserved honor!
