What are your career goals?

I aspire to work in the field of finance, either managing investment portfolios or helping people develop retirement plans and/or personal finance skills in general. Ideally, I would prefer working in a biotechnology company where I know that the funds I raise are going into a good cause.

What major lesson have you learned through your internship experience?

By experiencing a variety of different specialties, I could fully comprehend how versatile a degree in finance truly is and what opportunities would open up to me. I would recommend Synergy to other students because the internship provided me with an outlet to apply the theories and concepts I learned in class to real-world scenarios.
