Natalie Hoppe '16 - Express Scripts

Express Scripts – Intern, Summer 2019; hired full-time in Summer 2020

Current Position: Sales Coordinator Senior Analyst at Express Scripts

I graduated from Mizzou this past May (2020) with a Bachelor of Journalism and a minor in business. In hopes of finding an internship or a full-time job, I attended Cor Jesu’s Alumnae Internship Networking Connections (INC) event during both my junior and senior years of college.

My junior year, I met a representative from Express Scripts, which led me to an internship with the company that summer (2019). I worked with Express Scripts’ Corporate Communications team and made many great connections. Senior year I attended the INC event again – hopeful that I would get the opportunity to interview with a company for a full-time position. I connected with Express Scripts again, and now hold a full-time job as a Sales Coordinator Senior Analyst with the company, and it is all because of the connections I made from my internship.

If it weren’t for the CJA INC event, I would have never had these opportunities that helped shape my future. Cor Jesu helped prepare me for college in several ways. It taught me the fundamentals of how to be a successful student, and the INC event was another gift from CJA because it supported me even after I graduated. My career has been launched because of the INC event and we are so lucky as alumnae to have this opportunity at our fingertips. I encourage all of Cor Jesu’s college-aged alumnae, and recent college graduates, to take advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity.
