Yesterday marked National Intern Day, and at Turning Rock Partners, we take great pride in acknowledging the contributions of our hardworking interns. Our 2024 interns are a group of driven and curious learners who are enthusiastic about enriching themselves in the fast-paced dynamics of working in the private credit field. Allow us to present insights directly from our accomplished summer analysts, detailing their experiences: 🔹 Jaya Tianga, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill : “During my time in the summer analyst program at Turning Rock Partners, I have gained extensive experience which has broadened my knowledge and capabilities in private credit. Working with the Asset Management team, I am highly appreciative of the opportunity to directly contribute to sell-side materials and processes, providing an invaluable hands-on experience and deepened understanding of the sell-side process. Collaborating with highly knowledgeable professionals has laid a strong foundation for my future career, and I’m grateful for my incredible experience at Turning Rock Partners!” 🔹 Ariana Chiriac, University of Maryland : “Turning Rock’s summer analyst program has given me the opportunity to deepen my understanding of financial management. Collaborating with the accounting team, I gained invaluable experience working on the master expense budget and managing loan rollovers which not only enhanced my technical skills but also allowed me to work closely with professional accountants. The insightful conversations and mentorship I received has strengthened the foundation for my career.” 🔹 Eric Lee, New York University: “The summer at Turning Rock Partners was surely a wonderful experience for me. Working with the Investment Team, I was deeply involved in every part of the deal, from preliminary screening to writing investment memos. Again, I am extremely grateful for the opportunity, deepening my understanding of the private credit space and building a strong foundation to start my professional career.” To our distinguished interns, we extend our sincerest gratitude and are so proud of your accomplishments this summer! Your dedication and enthusiasm serve as a continual source of inspiration for our team. We learned as much from you, as you did from us.
