My internship at Ball Corporation has been a fantastic learning experience. I have had the opportunity to delve into various aspects of treasury, including cash management, financial risk management, and risk management insurance. One of my key learnings has been understanding the fascinating intricacies of aluminum commodity hedging within treasury and its overall impact on the business. I've also gained hands-on experience with financial modeling by developing a bond duration and convexity model, which has significantly enhanced my analytical skills.

My favorite moment so far has been working on a project regarding FX trading. Collaborating with a talented and supportive team, both within the headquarters and across global locations, to contribute to the business's financial success has been incredibly rewarding.

I am honored to contribute to the continued RMAFP-CU Denver partnership. This collaboration has been instrumental in providing students like myself with valuable opportunities to learn, grow, and contribute to the industry.
