1) What are some skills/competencies (NACE) that you developed/honed during your internship?

Financial literacy, the ability to do quality due diligence and time management.

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

I was initially interested in pursuing a career in financial services, though I was unfamiliar with the insurance industry. Now that I have some exposure, I am interested in looking into a career in insurance. It is a field that I could see myself in!

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

I would say apply to any internship that sparks interest. This is true even if the position is not what you initially thought you would be doing. I didn’t initially think I would love insurance and I really did! I wouldn’t trade the experience for the world and am really grateful I had the opportunity.
