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: Josh Lagerquist
Hometown: Bedford, NH
Where do you attend college and what do you study?:
I currently attend the University of Vermont and will be a
senior going into this Fall. I am a part of the Rubenstein School of
Environment and Natural resources and am majoring in natural resources with a
degree concentration in resource ecology.
How did you hear about Yankee Farm Credit?
One of my forestry lab partners and a fraternity brother of
mine were interns with Yankee last summer. They both had very positive
experiences and encouraged me to look into the potential opportunity of
interning here as well!
What branch location and department are you working in? Do you have any specific projects?
I am working with the appraisal department and am currently
based out of the Williston office. One of the nice things is that travel comes
with territory when doing appraisal work and it has allowed me to visit the
other branches and see more parts of the state. This summer I have been pulling
sales data to further develop the sales database, doing some GIS and mapping
work as well as shadowing during appraisal inspections.
What do you hope to get out of your internship that you
may not get from a traditional classroom?
This internship has given me some really great opportunities
to apply skills I have learned through my coursework and then utilize them to
solve unique problems. Also, I am hoping to use this internship to help
determine my career interests for future.
What do you hope to do after you graduate?
Nothing specific at the moment, I would like to travel a
little bit but otherwise hope to hop right into a job or career that is related
to my field of study!
