Aspire is sending a huge "thank you" to our summer intern Colin Canizales for all his hard work.
Last week, I completed a rewarding 10-week Financial Analyst internship at Aspire General Insurance. During this time, I was given significant responsibilities and contributed to several key initiatives that supported the company’s goals. This experience exposed me to a variety of challenges and tasks, allowing me to develop new skills that will be invaluable in my future career. One of my primary projects this summer was creating a dynamic projections model, which enabled executives to run various revenue and cost scenarios for the next three years. To achieve this, I enhanced existing Excel models by introducing a new structure and updating formulas. These improvements facilitated quicker analysis and more flexible models. I want to extend my sincere thanks to Bilal Alam, ACAS, MAAA, CPCU for his guidance throughout this internship. His mentorship introduced me to new concepts and approaches that I plan to apply throughout my career. I look forward to staying connected with him and the incredible team at Aspire. As I move forward, I am excited to begin my final year of undergraduate studies in Finance at SDSU. Additionally, I have registered for the CFA Level 1 exam through the CFA Program, which I will take in May 2025. I am eager to embark on these next steps in my journey and embrace the challenges they bring. #Finance #Internship
