Finance Intern

April 2019 • Arcata, CA

“This was not a "make copies and get coffee" internship. I was a valued member of a highly-productive, respected, economic development organization. I took on the role of an actual grant analyst which synthesized all of the accounting experience I had in my coursework with real-world experience. I was introduced to the organizations "big picture," which validated what I've studied in my economics courses. Since I worked at the Lead Center, I was also able to network with directors and staff from 18 centers all across northern California, members of California's GO-Biz office, and even federal SBA employees. This was a great experience that has and continues to provide me with excellent opportunities!”
