2018 Summer Internship Highlight |
Over the summer, Julia Simics is interning with People's United Bank in the Commercial
Banking department in the Bridgeport, Connecticut headquarters.
Within the Commercial department, Julia has been working with both the Commercial Real Estate Lending and Business Banking divisions, with the majority of her time being spent with the Commercial Real Estate Lending group. Specifically, she has been working under the Direct
or of Commercial Sales and Systems for Peoples United, Sharon Martinez.
Peoples United Bank has over $44 billion in assets, with their Commercial department being one of the largest contributors. The Commercial Real Estate side focuses on loan servicing for larger Commercial projects, such as financing for new construction or financing of existing developments, and maintains a broad portfolio of clients.

Julia feels this internship is extremely valuable, and that she has learned a vast amount not only about the commercial lending, but about the management of such broad portfolios as well as the department itself.
Peoples United promotes a welcoming and supportive learning environment, and she is looking forward to the remaining time this summer!

2018 Summer Internship Highlight |
This summer, Jack Falkner is interning with The Davis Companies in Boston, MA as a Development and Acquisition intern. He primarily spends his time in the Development group and has been involved with many phases of the development process. Between reviewing schedules and attending weekly on site construction meetings, he has grown in his real estate knowledge and developed a better understanding of the design and construction process.
Working with the Acquisitions department is providing Jack valuable experience in the valuation process, understanding if a property has development potential, risks to complete and what type of returns to expect. The experience has made him realize that "while most of the big picture numbers create the deal, the small details are what make the difference."
He goes on to state that he is very grateful for the opportunity The Davis Companies has given him, "Being able to be involved in so many different steps of the real estate development process has provided me valuable insight of what goes on start to finish, especially when the workplace culture is so inviting and supportive. I am thankful for the opportunity The Davis Companies has given me"
