‘The summer of 2023 stands out as a significant chapter in my academic and professional journey. I completed my internship at Wellington Management, an investment management firm renowned for its comprehensive research practices and strategic investment approaches, as an investment research summer analyst. Over three months, I had the privilege of immersing myself in the dynamic world of global economics and finance, contributing to the Emerging Market Debt Team's endeavors, and gaining invaluable insights into the intricacies of investment research.

Reflecting on my internship journey, I am grateful for the mentorship and support I received from the firm's seasoned professionals. Their investment in my development not only accelerated my learning curve but also instilled in me a sense of confidence and self-assurance in my abilities. As I transition into the next phase of my career, I am equipped with practical experience and insights that will serve as a solid foundation for future endeavors in investment research and financial analysis. 

Furthermore, my academic journey at the Global Economics and Finance Program (GLEF) has complemented my internship experience by providing me with a comprehensive understanding of global economics and finance. The curriculum's emphasis on practical learning experiences, industry insights sessions, and networking events has equipped me with the skills and competencies necessary to excel in internships and careers in the finance industry.

Overall, my internship experience at Wellington Management and academic journey at the GLEF program have been invaluable in preparing me for a successful career in global economics and finance. I am grateful for the opportunities afforded to me and look forward to leveraging my knowledge and skills to make meaningful contributions to the finance industry.’
