In 5 years, I see myself working at a reinsurance company or a wholesale brokerage firm in the New York City area or somewhere around the world. I also want to work toward obtaining some of the insurance industry designations and to get involved with post-graduate insurance organizations, such as the Gamma Iota Sigma Alumni Chapter in the area that I will reside in. Working abroad is something else I would love to experience in my career as well.
