TAYLER ERICKSON ’26

MAJOR Management

HOMETOWN Wausau, Wis. ORGANIZATION Northwestern Mutual Wausau, Wis. TITLE Financial Advisor

What I did: As a financial planner intern at Northwestern Mutual, I managed my own clients and meetings, developed comprehensive knowledge in financial planning and wealth creation, and networked with advisors across the state. I gained invaluable experience by collaborating with some of the best advisors in the United States, which enhanced my understanding of investment strategies, insurance products and retirement planning. What I liked: I enjoyed the hands-on experience of managing client relationships and developing personalized financial plans. The opportunity to learn from top advisors and build a professional network was incredibly rewarding. The internship allowed me to apply some theoretical knowledge to real- world scenarios, which was both challenging and fulfilling. Future Dream Job: My dream job ultimately is to become a full-time investment banker for a major corporation, but if that doesn’t happen I wouldn’t mind being a financial advisor. This job has taught me a lot about the industry and how to run my own business/clients.
