Kelly Jackson graduated from Northern Illinois University and currently works as the Vice President of People and Culture Capability at Zurich American Insurance. Named to Crain's Chicago list of notable HR/DE&l executives, she continues to excel in her field. Jackson's first internship with INROADS was for Zurich American Insurance, designing brochures as a sophomore. When asked about her time at INROADS, this is what she had to say:

"INROADS had a profound impact on my professional career. The INROADS experience provided me with exposure, experience, and knowledge to navigate the corporate landscape. I loved the friendships and connections I made throughout my INROADS experience, but I am extremely grateful for the corporate training and knowledge that was imparted to me. Having not worked in a corporate environment, INROADS equipped me with the key skills needed to be successful."

Kelly's advice to future interns is to take advantage of the workshops and developmental opportunities that INROADS provides. "During your internship experience, take on added responsibilities, develop your skills, and most importantly, make a name for yourself," Kelly advises. "Ensure you focus on getting to know those leaders that can support your growth and success."
