An Internship At Apg Asset Management After Graduating...

My decision to take a degree in Real Estate Finance and Investment was prompted during my internship at APG Asset Management after graduating college. I have always loved everything about the business and finance world and will fight hard to have a place in it. Unlike most kids, it took real life work experience for me to know where I wanted to go in life. I was lucky enough to have an internship at an Asset Management firm the summer out of my undergrad. It was fascinating to me, working with the Portfolio Analysts at APG and tracking the performance and progress of existing investments. I was intrigued and also intimidated with the way the Analysts understood and spoke about the investments that they oversaw. I was also the only female on the team so that took some getting used to as well. I knew that this would be a challenge for me but I wanted in, I wanted to understand this world. From then on, I have dedicated myself to learn, grow and flourish in the business world. I learne d how to analyze quarterly reports from multiple assets and gave my projections based on my own ideas and thoughts. This was only the beginning, but doing so improved my abilities to express my ideas clearly and concisely and I developed a better understanding on how the finance side of real estate operates. I am currently enrolled in a Continuing Education Certificate course for Real Estate Finance at The City College of Baruch which will be completed in August. I am taking this course so
