Kimika was propelled into the International Business world when she was selected for the Bermuda Education Network Internship. The experience gave her an early understanding of what worked and didn’t work for her and she eventually decided to pursue a career as a broker. From taking actuarial science at Bermuda College to risk management at St. John’s University, a master’s in business analysis and strategy at the University of Manchester expanded her understanding of the industry before she joined Marsh in January.
She said, “I knew I wanted to get into the industry early, so I built the network. Through experience you can identify your strengths and weaknesses and what works best for you. I’ve shadowed many jobs across the industry just to get a taste for the different roles. Taking part in different activities, playing the roles of the underwriter, the consultant, the broker – from there I recognised that the industry had a lot to offer.”
