Non-target Noobie

Hello everyone! Long-time stalker that finally opened an account here.

I am currently a Junior Finance major with a 3.6 GPA at a smaller liberal arts school in the Charlotte area. I have been networking with professionals within commercial/corporate lending, and I have ended up with almost all of my contacts working in ABL (which I think I would prefer to work in within corporate lending). I am currently trying to get a summer internship with one of the many larger banks in Charlotte. I do have a part-time job with a local bank where I have worked for almost two years, and I have recently transitioned from being a teller to working in the Accounting department. I just wanted to introduce myself and see if there was anyone out there that has any advice for me that may have done something similar!
