Finance Intern | Global Finance & Business Operations

What does your internship entail?

My internship involved collecting data on all the sites’ fixed assets to verify that they are still on site and using this information to prepare for an upcoming fixed asset audit. I was also included in various budgeting activities with my team. Throughout my summer, if I needed help with anything, I knew that anyone I asked would go out of their way to help me, and that significantly increased my confidence in this role.

What are some lessons you learned as an intern that will impact your future career?

This internship impacted my future because I developed technical skills such as Excel and SAP, which helped me understand how budgeting works in a large corporation. I also feel that this experience has allowed me to connect with people in different areas of the business and increase my network for opportunities in the future. Through this internship, I learned that it is very important to take every opportunity that comes my way, and I am thankful for the support from my amazing team.

What did you love most about your internship?

My favorite thing about my internship experience was being able to network with different colleagues and interns across the business. I had the opportunity to meet with value stream leaders and different site leaders throughout the summer. I appreciated the willingness of leaders to engage with early career students like me and the unconditional support, inclusivity, and learning opportunities from my team.
