what do you hope to gain from your FG internship?
experience in the insurance industry and sales, plus team settings and the overall workplace; I’m also aiming to hone my communication skills

what’s the most helpful skill you’ve learned so far?
having confidence when communicating with others; sharing your thoughts and fresh concepts with teammates is valuable to an organization, and FG is very welcoming of my new ideas
you in one word ambitious
hobbies spending time with friends and family, traveling, golfing, playing basketball, hiking, snowboarding, fishing and listening to music
if you could meet anyone in the world—dead or alive—who would it be and what would you say?
I’d ask Tiger Woods for help with my swing
