Work in a team, Analytical skills, Written and verbal communication skills, working in a remote environment, computer skills

2) How does this experience connect to your future career goals?

This experience helped me to further my analysis skills, and taught me the different forms of risk that exist within the banking industry. I learned how to read and evaluate large amounts of financial information, as well as learning how to summarize that information in a clear and concise manner. Learning how risk is evaluated and measured will help me in the future to be able to see problems before they become a large issue. I have also been exposed to one of the sectors of banking that exists mostly due to government regulations, and have been able to learn about the relationship between the government and the financial industry, and how that relationship impacts the decisions that are made.

3) What advice would you give to other Holy Cross students?

This internship gives you the chance to talk to people from all sorts of different backgrounds, and they all want to help you succeed. Asking questions is how you learn, and everyone wants to help you get as much out of the internship as you can. Internships are an opportunity to learn about future career options, as well as giving you an opportunity to learn more about what you want to do in the future.
