As an intern, I was given responsibilities that helped me learn about the business and the organization, including:

• Working on a pension plan termination project alongside a Senior Consulting Actuary
• Performing data intensive tasks in Excel
• Performing pension benefit calculations for plan participants
• Working on an actuarial equivalence project with other interns.

The top five things I learnt as an intern helped me expand my knowledge about the Human Capital & Benefits area, whilst helping me grow as a professional and as a person:

• Professional networking
• Time management and prioritizing
• Industry standards and practices
• Teamwork
• Confidence and adaptability

My best memory was my final internship presentation. It was the culmination of everything I had learnt and all the people I had the opportunity to work with. It was such a thrill and it didn’t hurt that I did a great job!

Willis Towers Watson’s efforts towards Inclusion & Diversity (I&D). I’m originally from Ghana and I had been in the US for about a year, so I was still getting used to everything. The internship was a great introduction and warm welcome to corporate America.

I am currently a Lead Actuarial Associate in the Retirement Line of Business, mentee in Financial Wellbeing, member of the recruiting team and actively involved in I&D initiatives. These roles are very important accomplishments for me since some were goals I set for myself as an intern and I am glad to have had the opportunity to exceed them and aim higher.

I was already accustomed to the tools, processes, culture and colleagues, so it reduced any onboarding stress, allowed me to settle in easily and focus on my actual work.
