My Nike Inc. internship included creating and presenting a team marketing campaign to Phil Knight.
It was a dream come true. My Nike Inc. internship position as Assistant Product Line Manager for the All Conditions Gear (ACG) category included creating and presenting a team marketing campaign to Phil Knight (our team won!), attending international buyer meetings, and my personal project: re-inventing the women’s hiking shoe (which went to market this spring).
Because of Creighton’s reputation and connection with alumni, in addition to the resources in the Career Center, I was hired as one of 175 interns out of 16,000 international applicants, at a world renowned company. I worked closely with Jeremy Fisher, the Director of Business Career Programs at Creighton, to find the perfect career fit before graduation—one that would allow me to utilize my talents and education. He worked with me to land my current position at Berskshire Hathaway Homestate Companies, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., as a Property Underwriter.
Creighton’s College of Business ensured that I was prepared for my future, and the Career Center offered opportunities you can’t find anywhere else—and cheered me on in all my endeavors.
