New Intern Announcement! Please welcome Brianna Jacobs, who got recruited into our internship program by Eric Davis. Brianna is a Management student at San Diego State University, where she is deeply involved with many campus groups - Women in Business, International Business Society and Entrepreneurship Society. 1. Why did you choose Modern Woodmen internship? Choosing to intern at Modern Woodmen of America was an easy decision for me. Their reputation of turning former athletes into leaders immediately caught my attention because I’ve always known I wanted to work in a competitive environment after I finished playing college basketball. I feel a sense of excitement knowing I will be surrounded by highly motivated and experienced mentors this summer. 2. What are you hoping to learn or experience during your internship? During my internship, I’m hoping to learn and experience a few key things that will help me grow both professionally and personally. First, I’m excited to get an insider’s look into how the financial services industry works and gain hands-on experience with skills that I can’t fully grasp just from textbooks. I also hope to learn from experienced mentors who can offer me advice and help me grow through constructive feedback. Having people to guide and challenge me is something I really value and will help me figure out what specific path within finance I want to pursue. Since Modern Woodmen is known for blending financial services with community service, I’m looking forward to learning how companies can give back and participate in local projects that make a difference. Welcome to the team Brianna! #ModernWoodmen #InternshipOpportunities #MWA
