December 2018: Lindsey Nye
Lindsey Nye has spent the past eleven months interning at Bannock Development Corporation in Pocatello, Idaho. Bannock Development Corporation is a private, non-profit economic development organization working for continued growth and diversity in Bannock County, Idaho. During her internship, Nye has been able to build relationships with many local and regional businesses. Most recently, Nye worked on the ‘Why I Love Southeast Idaho’ social media contest. This contest provided local residents and visitors to highlight their favorite aspects of the local area.
Angela Wilhelm, Executive Assistant and supervisor of Nye, has tremendously enjoyed having Nye as an intern.
“We absolutely love having her as a member of our team,” explained Wilhelm.
Nye will graduate this December with an MBA with an emphasis in finance. After graduation, she hopes to move to Washington DC where she can pursue her dreams of becoming a financial advisor.
“It’s been a great experience to work with many of the businesses in the area,” stated Nye. “I have been able to get exposure to many different sectors, which has helped me determine what I want to do after school.”
Originally from Pocatello, Nye enjoys spending her free time hiking, running, and traveling.
