Thomas Aniol
Company Name: Transwestern
Position: Summer Associate
Location: Dallas, Texas
Aniol on his experience: "This summer, I participated in a formal, structured commercial real estate internship program that focused on Office Tenant Representation and Agency Leasing Services that incorporated both real world and classroom experience via scheduled Zoom meetings. This experience encompassed all aspects of the commercial real estate process, and featured multiple in-person projects at the Downtown Dallas office. Under the guidance of a Senior Principal, I completed rigorous, project-based work with peer teams involving real life scenarios such as crafting sales letters, client pitch presentations, and hunting for prospective tenants while leveraging the full capabilities of CoStar. I contributed to the Summer Associate team while gaining valuable experience in other areas such as Occupier Solutions, Industrial, Retail, and Investment Services." |

Brady D'Hont
Company Name: Constellation Brands Inc.
Position: Community Affairs Intern
Location: Victor, N.Y.
D'Hont on his experience: "I was fortunate to still have an internship this summer, especially with a Fortune 500 company in Constellation Brands, an American producer and marketer of beer, wine and spirits. Each week, we met virtually with other interns across all parts of the company and the country where we heard from executives and learned about all different facets of the firm. This included the rising trends of e-commerce, the financial risks and returns of investing in Canopy Growth Company (a Canadian-based cannabis company), the three portfolios of beer, wine and spirits and the brands they have acquired such as Corona and eventually plan to acquire. I had a unique experience where I also worked for New York Kitchen, a Non-Profit affiliate of Constellation. I worked directly with two other interns and developed social media marketing plans, press releases, assisted in fundraising events and explored current and new partners in the culinary, wine and spirits categories for NYK.
"At the end of the summer, myself and four other interns within the company were tasked with a final presentation where we pitched a new idea "from the eyes of Gen Z" to executives across Constellation Brands. I had a great summer at Constellation and will forever be fortunate for that opportunity."
