Previous internships
This past summer I interned with Deloitte. My internship was a great experience. I got to work on real, client facing projects, and really learn what actuarial consulting is all about. Additionally, I have also interned with The Phoenix Companies and Travelers – both of which were also great experiences, helped me to advance my skills, and to learn what working in industry is like.
