Yesterday marked the conclusion of my internship with Nannette Nocon a private wealth advisor with Ameriprise Financial Services, LLC.
I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to learn from an industry professional with 40 years of experience. The support of Nannette and her team helped me flourish.
Key Takeaways:
1. Prioritizing/Time Management: The early exposure to the difference between full-time work and school became evident. There can be more freedom within one work day, whereas school has a more rigid schedule. This internship taught me how to manage my time in a professional setting, and reprioritize as new tasks were presented.
2. Heart/Passion: Seeing first hand how passionate and positive Nannette was every day was so inspiring. It is true what they say about loving what you do and its impact on a person’s success. Seeing how love and energy Nannette puts into her meetings was amazing, pushing me to put my best foot forward.
3. Always ask questions: Nannette always said that the people with the questions tend to learn more than those with the answers. With that piece of advice, I felt empowered to ask for help or clarification throughout this experience. Asking questions enabled me to improve my communication skills. As I learned to concisely convey what I was struggling with, what needed to be accomplished and when. With this in mind, I was successfully able to collaborate with other team members to get tasks completed in a timely manner.
I want to end by saying a huge thank you to Nocon & Associates. I will miss you all so much, but look forward to staying connected and seeing where my future goes!
Today we bid farewell to Mariel, Connor, Nina, and Catrina as their summer internships come to a close. Each of you have done outstanding work this summer! We wish you all the very best for the coming school year.

If you know any students who are the first generation in their family to attend a college or university and they attend school in Chicago, NY/NJ or LA areas - please do let them know about this amazing program. The monthly workshops and being paired 1:1 with a mentor for the 2 year journey can be a real game changer in terms of building a network, practice interviewing/public speaking, seek internships and be career ready in the profession of their choice.
And ANY is always looking for mentors willing to devote their time, experience and network to be paired 1:1 with a student through this journey. It’s a very personalized and tangible way to see the impact you can have on someone else’s life, education and career.
We are very excited to announce that our 2025 Fellows Program Application is officially open!
