When searching for a company that I wanted to grow with, two of my highest priorities were finding one with a culture that I loved and could contribute to and finding a company that embraced continuous development. I’m grateful my journey took me to Liberty Mutual, as I find myself engaging in meaningful work with an incredible team. From internship to the underwriting development program to now finding my groove as a full underwriter, I always appreciated the many opportunities for development and have loved being able to grow within this industry and meet so many great people

Liberty Mutual provided me with such an enriching and joyful experience during my 2022 summer internship in the Farm Underwriting Department. I learned so much and also got to network with some of the best people! They challenged me with a project that was super rewarding and my final product was actually used in real life. My team was very supportive of me throughout the whole process and I truly believe that it’s the people that sets Liberty Mutual apart. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience at Liberty Mutual!

I was lucky enough to get an Internship at Liberty during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although virtual, my team made me feel like I was adding value to the office, and everyone taught me something along the way. When I was offered a full-time position post college, it was a no brainer for me to accept. After making the transition from intern to a college hire in the Surety Underwriting Development Program, my network and learning opportunities have only expanded, and I have been able to connect with so many people across not only the U.S., but also across the world. I feel so lucky to work at a company that makes an effort to encourage personal and professional development as I move through my career, and I am excited to see what the future holds for me at Liberty!
