Our Student Success Stories - Kathryn Klahn

Kathryn 

As a student at Santa Clara University, Kathryn is involved in intramural sports and the Delta Gamma Sorority as a Finance Director.  She loved meeting new people and experiencing new things through these groups. She also joined clubs on campus and held an on campus job, which was a great way to network and enjoy her time throughout college. Outside of school, she enjoyed exploring San Francisco and all that Northern California has to offer.

We asked Kathryn what her favorite memory from Santa Clara is and she responded: β€œThe friends I made freshman year are still my best friends today. We all live in a house together off campus. Off campus life at Santa Clara is really fun. The school is really small so you always see people you know walking to and from class. Everyone is really friendly and there's a great vibe of wanting to see your peers succeed. Santa Clara is very resourceful and located in such a great area for young professionals. I've yet to find anything about Santa Clara University that I don't love.”

Kathryn is currently a Financial Analyst at Cisco Systems. She is in a two year financial rotation program where she is able to learn different aspects of corporate finance. Kathryn was unsure what her next steps after college would be, so this internship has opened her eyes to many different options. Cisco Systems is located in Silicon Valley, and gives Kathryn a great network since it is such an established company.  

Kathryn was such a joy to work with and we love seeing her succeed! Congratulations Kathryn, on your upcoming graduation, and we are excited to see what you do next!
