Meet Nick, one half of our 2018 Summer Intern Duo! Nick has already proven to be a worthy (and tidy) MFC intern and office mate, sharing an office with Tiffany. Though we’ve only asked him to do mental backflips – we may have to see if he can do a physical backflip before the end of summer. Learn more about Nick.

On an average day, what do you do here at MFC? I assist our financial planning team with various tasks, including research to help prep or follow up for client meetings. I am also assisting with other projects as well, including collecting tax returns and updating our new logo across various marketing materials and platforms.

Tell us a little about yourself: I am a finance major on the CFP education track who loves anything to do with sports. Being a competitive person, I have attempted and enjoyed many sports. I dabble in golf, volleyball, and gymnastics, but gymnastics is the only club team I am currently on at Virginia Tech.

What are your goals after graduation? I plan to pursue the route of a Certified Financial Planner and pass the CFP Exam.

What is one thing at work you can’t do without? I cannot do without my water bottle or something to keep myself hydrated.

Last place you traveled and what did you do there? I traveled to Gatlinburg, Tennessee and went hiking in the Smokey Mountains with a bunch of my friends from college. We stayed in a cabin for a week and saw many interesting things. A black bear was a common occurrence!

What is the nerdiest thing you do in your free time? I really enjoy learning foreign languages and I have been studying Japanese for the past several years.

What book are you currently reading? The Undoing Project by Michael Lewis

If you could have one superpower, what would it be? I would like to have control over the four elements (earth, fire, wind, and water). I’m a big Avatar: The Last Airbender fan.
