We are excited to have five interns join us this year. They will be an important part of several special projects this summer. We'll feature each one here, so you can get to know them. Please welcome them to the team!
Name:
Hometown: Bradford, VT
Where do you attend college and what do you study?
I’m a junior attending the University of Vermont and I’m
studying Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting and
Finance.
How did you hear about Yankee Farm Credit?
I heard about Yankee originally from farmers in my hometown,
but I learned about this internship from Dr. DeWitt, who is a board
member for Yankee.
What branch and department do you work in? Do you have any specific projects?
I am working out of the Williston branch under Lisa in the
credit department. I just finished up adjusting data that had errors from the
conversion and I will be working on other projects in different departments
along with other data cleanup.
What do you hope to get out of your internship that you may
not get from a traditional classroom?
I hope to learn how businesses run in a day to day sense and how that fits into the overall goals of the organization, along with gaining practical experience that can be applied better than classroom knowledge.

What do you hope to do after you graduate?
I hope to get my
Masters in Accountancy and become a CPA. From there maybe move into forensic
accounting and see where that takes me.
