Bio
Nachole Holloway
During my eight weeks as a human resources intern at Northwestern Mutual, I had the pleasure of having Melissa Craighill, HR Manager, as my supervisor. Melissa always had a positive attitude, which made it easy to communicate with her and ask her questions. She was very welcoming and helpful from start to finish. I felt like I was a part of the team and that my views mattered. Melissa provided great feedback throughout my internship and she welcomed my feedback as well. She trusted me with major projects, which allowed me to be introduced to different aspects of HR. I was able to shadow her doing a variety of tasks and I also had valuable hands-on experience that I can use in the future. She helped to ensure that I received plenty of learning opportunities from my internship. Melissa cared about my work as an intern, but also about me as an individual. I feel that is a great quality to have in a supervisor. Lastly, I appreciated that she challenged me to grow and I know that I have grown in the amount of time I was there. If given the opportunity to work with Melissa again, I would! I had a wonderful and successful internship working with Melissa at Northwestern Mutual!

Melissa Hawks brings a wealth of professionalism and enthusiasm each time she is on the Peace campus. She has coached students during mock interviews, provided advice on interviewing on a class panel, and participated in special events for Career Services. She is highly motivated to recruit top talent and has a passion for working with college students and university career professionals. She has refined her skills to develop relationships with potential candidates for Northwestern Mutual and represents her company with the utmost integrity in all settings. It has absolutely been my pleasure to get to know Melissa as I can always count on her to follow through and to exhibit excellence.
