MEET Katelyn Batten: YEAR: Senior MAJOR: Finance with a Concentration in Risk Management and Insurance Title: Excess Personal Lines Underwriter Intern at Amwins ABOUT: I’m working with a team of 5 headed by an ECU RMI alum in the Morehead City NC office. I help assist my team place policies for agents that aren’t able to place them in the admitted market with carriers we have access to. I’ve been able to see several unique risks this summer including athletes, celebrities, and multi million dollar homes. I've had the opportunity to travel to the Amwins headquarters in Charlotte, NC and connect with fellow interns and participate in social events like happy hours and even a catamaran boat excursion. What do you like most about Amwins?: The people! Amwins shows that they genuinely cares about your future and what you want out of your career. My office is interested in what I want to learn and how they can help me achieve my career goals even while I’m an intern. FUN FACT: I’m currently learning German and hoping to travel to Germany soon! We are so proud of you, Katelyn! #ECUCOB #WeBuildLeaders East Carolina University - College of Business
