Tyler Regnier \u201816 –<\/em>\u00a0This summer I am interning for Thane Bushong \u201996 at Private Capital Management Group, Inc. in Noblesville, IN.\u00a0 PCMG Inc. is a personal finance firm offering investment, mortgage, insurance, and financial advising services.\u00a0 I am also working on efforts within PCMG\u2019s sister company, Timberline Properties, LLC, a property management group in Noblesville.\u00a0 My responsibilities come in a wide variety, ranging from tax abatements, to kitchen remodels, to investment portfolios.<\/p>\n

I started this position with mostly soft skills, such as strong interpersonal skills and a detail oriented mindset.\u00a0 My main technical skills included proficiency in Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel, which I gained from my statistics course with Dr. Byun.\u00a0 Through this internship I have been able to strengthen both my analytical and technical skills, as I review investment portfolios and prepare presentations for various clients.\u00a0 I have always been able to balance seeing and addressing the fine details of a situation while also keeping the larger picture or final goal in mind.\u00a0 I have sharpened this skill by working on various projects in investments, and more so in real estate and property management projects with Timberline, LLC.<\/p>\n

Due to my diverse interests, I have now narrowed my career path.\u00a0 At this time I am working towards a career in personal finance, law, or education.\u00a0 From a young age I have held an interest in finance and investments.\u00a0 Working at PCMG Inc., has enabled me to develop and strengthen that interest.\u00a0 I am enjoying this position in personal finance, and I find stock research and portfolio analysis to be a invigorating activity.\u00a0 In addition, the personal interaction with clients is a vital part of what draws me to personal finance.\u00a0 I can certainly see myself in a full-time position similar to this internship.<\/p>\n

At PCMG Inc., I have been handed a number of tasks that I know little to nothing about.\u00a0 For instance, I am currently working on a tax abatement proposal for a historic building in downtown Noblesville that Timberline Properties, LLC will soon be renovating to create professional office suites.\u00a0 This task is teaching me to handle situations with a steep learning curve, a skill which will be valuable in future positions.\u00a0 Coming into this job, I knew nothing about local tax laws and incentives.\u00a0 Through talking to local officials and business owners, I have been able to compile information on tax incentives to complete this tax abatement proposal.<\/p>\n

My Wabash liberal arts education has enabled me to perform the wide range of tasks that this position requires of me.\u00a0 Due to the wide array of subjects covered by a liberal arts education, my Wabash experience has enabled me to take on very diverse responsibilities as well as tasks which I initially know very little about. This internship has helped me further develop my skills and refine my career path. \u00a0I am very grateful that through Wabash and the Lilly Endowment, I am able to have this internship experience.<\/p>\n
