I studied marketing and psychology at Drake University and am currently doing a three year Leadership Development Rotation at Principal Financial, where I'm focusing on corporate marketing, corporate sponsorships, and how Millennials are changing the workplace.

    As a summer intern, I spent a lot of my time coordinating different events that helped build relationships between The Principal and different financial advisors.

    The highlight of my internship was being selected to give a presentation to senior executives as to why they should begin utilizing social networking sites as a means to recruit college students.

  • Student Ambassador

    (Staffing and Recruiting industry)

    August 2005December 2006 (1 year 5 months)

    Being a Student Ambassador was great! I'd sit on student panels, give campus tours, host prospective students, and, most importantly, help kids make one of the most important decisions of their lives... Where to go to college.

Andy Drish’s Interests:

In my spare time, I do marketing for a professional speaker, am involved in various philanthropic events, and run a side business that connects college students with "mini-internships" at small businesses. (www.minternships.com) I absolutely love to travel. During college I spent five months living in New Zealand and two months backpacking across Europe. Definitely two of the best things I've ever done.
