When Sahila started her summer wealth management internship with Wells Fargo, she was nervous. As a marketing student, she’d never worked in finance before and had doubts about how she would adapt to an unfamiliar field. She quickly came to realize her business education at Pacific — and unique perspective as first-generation, Pakistani American student — enabled her to think outside the box and make valuable contributions to the company.
"I never had a specific company I wanted to work for but knew I wanted to market a product I believe in.
I applied for countless internships to get experience under my belt before graduation. With guidance from the ESB Career Management Center, I narrowed my search to boutique wineries in my hometown, landing an internship that became a full-time role after graduation. My studies at Pacific, relations with faculty, and that first job, plus a lot of hard work, led me to my dream job as Senior Marketing Coordinator for the Duckhorn Portfolio – the number one luxury wine company in America."
