When the school year ends, many Mustangs use their summer break as a time to recharge, set goals, and challenge themselves by applying what they've mastered in the classroom. Learn about Keara McGuire's summer and her newest role.
🐴Keara is a senior studying marketing from Marion, Iowa.
💼This summer, Keara serves as the Corporate Marketing Intern at @ufginsurance here in Cedar Rapids. So far in her internship, Keara has gained experience with project management, community relations, digital marketing, live production, and marketing analytics.
🤝Making connections and taking a leap of faith is how Keara landed her internship at UFG when she came across an employee's LinkedIn profile.
"I have always heard about how great the people and culture are at UFG, but when the Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer accepted my connection request, I realized that what I have listened to must be true if someone that high up was willing to connect with someone they didn’t know."
After connecting, Keara stayed alert on summer internship openings at the company.
💙Keara thanks her family and friends for the support, Mount Mercy Marketing and Communications Department and Christa Nelson, Assistant Professor of Business, for preparing her for the internship, and UFG for providing new skill sets and a welcoming environment!
