INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE:

My internship with PSECU (Pennsylvania State Employees Credit Union) has helped me to deal with member issues, work as team, and improve on my sales skills.  I have also learned everything about the credit union world and many financial instruments and tools.  Having an internship is very beneficial to supplement classroom material and enhance business skills.  This internship has also allowed me to learn effective time management considering a full coursework load and involvement in various campus organizations.
