Hear From Our Interns

"The biggest impact on my internship experience was experiencing Builders’ culture firsthand. Everyone I interacted with was genuinely friendly, supportive, and approachable. Regardless of role or seniority, employees were always willing to answer questions and offer guidance. Knowing that I could comfortably reach out to anyone when I needed help made a significant difference in my experience and showed me the value of fostering an open and collaborative workplace culture"

Isai Ocampo,

People Operations

“My internship gave me hands-on experience and the confidence to take the next step, ultimately leading to my first fulltime role. Looking back, the Builders Internship taught me that you don’t have to have everything figured out. You just have to be willing to show up, be yourself, and take the opportunity in front of you.”

Shakara Pankey,

People Operations

“I love the phrase ‘Bite off more than you can chew’ because it helped lead me to the position I have today. I went above and beyond my normal responsibilities to support my team, create documentation and help implement best practices. As an intern, I saw the systems from a fresh perspective, which gave me a unique opportunity to ask questions and offer new ideas to strengthen existing processes.”

Cole Hansen,

Underwriting

“The most important skill I strengthened was my ability to connect technical solutions with business needs. Through conversations with employees across Data, Finance, Sales, Claims, Underwriting, Loss Control, and other departments, I learned how to ask better questions, understand the purpose behind a request, and communicate technical concepts in a way that creates value for different audiences.” 

Siri Yellu,

Data Analytics

“Our visit to the Shepherd Center was an incredibly impactful part of this internship. It provided real context about the people that insurers work to support and make whole. A key difference at Builders is that we prioritize the people behind the policy instead of just the numbers. I believe that it is incredibly important to remember the human relationships behind business, and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing how professionals can have a positive impact.”  

Trevor Hall,

Sales Operations

"As a Risk Management major, getting to speak with agency leaders and learn about career opportunities within an agency was one of the highlights of my internship. Everyone at Builders and our agency partners was incredibly generous with their time, sharing professional insights and career advice that I'll carry with me." 

Nolan Lassiter,

Underwriting
