In college, I was an intern at Tnemec Co where I helped sourcing raw materials from China to Saudi Arabia while dealing with offices over seas. Later, I worked as a Health and Welfare intern at Lockton Companies in Kansas City. Through daily meetings with clients and attending networking opportunities both internally and externally, I was able to better understand what an insurance brokerage is and the significant impact it has for so many companies. As my summer project, I worked with the international team to better understand the insurance landscape in Asia, Europe, and Central America. I had the opportunity to work closely with the CEO of Lockton China as well as the CEO of Lockton's subsidiary in France and Lockton Mexico. Through this, I gained valuable experience and knowledge that I've taken with me to IMA.
