Tony's Internship

For the last nine months I have been interning with a financial institution in downtown Santa Rosa and the experience has been invaluable. Not only did having this internship provide me with a vessel to exhibit what I’ve learned in the classroom out in the workplace, but it has also taught me more than sitting in a classroom ever could. Throughout my internship, I’ve had the opportunity to develop an understanding of the financial consulting industry, and widen my scope of knowledge of capital markets. My day to day tasks did include minimum tedious, routine activities but more often than not I was given the opportunity to get my hands dirty and really understand the type of business that we were involved in. Most importantly this experience gave me the opportunity to network substantially and meet a diverse group of people that can not only help my career progress but can also help my day to day life progress as well. This internship opportunity has really gotten the ball rolling for my career and if I could go back and do it all again I definitely would!
