Tymera Marsh has been named the University of Central Arkansas Internships and Cooperative Education 2025-26 Intern of the Year.

The Intern of the Year award recognizes students who have distinguished themselves through exemplary performance that surpassed standard internship expectations and gained meaningful experiences that enhanced both their academic journey and their career trajectory.

Marsh, a senior majoring in Marketing and minoring in Computer Information Systems, 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. 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 multiphase project, coordinated team meetings, created instructional recordings and strategically delegated tasks, resulting in restored client trust and improved overall client sentiment. The project drew high praise from Apptegy’s Vice President of Client Experience Ashley Coleman, who described Marsh as “a natural leader” who exemplified initiative, drive and originality. Impressed by her performance, Apptegy has 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 entirely transformed her professional outlook.
