Premed to Finance

Hey guys,

I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to posting here so I gotta thank you guys in advance if I don't explain things 100% correctly. 

I'm currently a rising senior studying Neuroscience(3.6/4.0) and Math(3.9/4.0) at Vanderbilt University. I've always had a keen interest in Finance, and my major was Economics at one point. I currently have 4 research experiences and 1 business internship: 1 at the VBI, 1 at the VUMC, 2 at CUIMC, and 1 at a small tutoring business that I started. 

Because my background is mostly biological, I feel a bit lost on how to get the process started. I would want to get an internship next Summer that could transition into a full-time role. I've never done anything related to Finance internships and would love to hear some advice on how to get started!
