Rachel Kent

This summer, Climate First Bank is excited to welcome a group of talented interns who are eager to make a difference in the world of sustainable finance. With their diverse backgrounds and passion for the environment, these interns are poised to contribute to the Bank's mission of creating a more sustainable future. Let's meet the interns who will be joining Climate First Bank this summer.

Jason, Marketing Intern

First up is Jason Dobuler, who will be joining as the Marketing Intern. Hailing from Jupiter, FL, Jason is entering his second year at the University of Central Florida (UCF). Besides his interest in marketing, Jason has a creative side and loves live music, video/photo editing, and supporting UCF sports teams. His enthusiasm and creativity will undoubtedly bring a fresh perspective to Climate First Bank's marketing efforts.

Karina, Cyber Security Intern

Next, we have Karina Rosario, the Cyber Security Intern. Originally from Orlando, FL, Karina is a student at St. Petersburg College, majoring in Cyber Security. With a keen interest in protecting digital systems, Karina will play a crucial role in ensuring the Bank's online platforms remain secure. When she's not busy safeguarding data, Karina enjoys spending time with her two cats, Merlin and Glory, and indulging in her favorite TV show, "How to Get Away with Murder." She also finds solace in gaming on her Nintendo Switch.

Khaalil, Digital Banking Intern

Khaalil Williams Frierson will be joining as the Digital Banking Intern. Originally from Chapel Hill, NC, Khaalil is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Sustainable Development Practice at the University of Florida (UF). Having already obtained a Bachelor's degree in Sustainability Studies from UF, Khaalil brings a wealth of knowledge and a strong passion for environmental sustainability to Climate First Bank. Alongside his studies, Khaalil is a big tech and video game nerd who loves exploring new technology and building computers.

Morgan, Digital Banking Intern

Lastly, we have Morgan Mathews, who will also be serving as a Digital Banking Intern. Morgan resides in Jacksonville, FL, and is a student at the University of South Florida (USF), majoring in Environmental Science and a member of the Honors College. With her deep understanding of environmental issues, Morgan is eager to contribute to Climate First Bank's digital banking initiatives. When she's not working, Morgan enjoys spending time outdoors, volunteering, and traveling, all of which have further fueled her commitment to environmental conservation.

These four interns bring a diverse range of skills, interests, and perspectives to Climate First Bank. They embody the Bank's core values of sustainability, innovation, and environmental stewardship. By fostering and inspiring new talent, Climate First Bank is not only creating opportunities for young professionals but also building a community of changemakers who are dedicated to addressing climate change through finance.

Throughout the summer, Jason, Karina, Khaalil, and Morgan will work closely with seasoned professionals at Climate First Bank, gaining valuable insights and hands-on experience in sustainable finance.
