This summer I had the opportunity to intern at Digital River. I could not have asked for a better internship. It was not only a fantastic learning environment for someone like me, who is interested in the financial services field, but it was a great place to network with some of the most brilliant people I've ever met. I'm very thankful for this amazing experience at Digital River.
