Nate Van Lonkhuyzen of Rockport is Allen Insurance and Financial's 2021 summer intern. He is an economics major at Colby College in Waterville class of 2023.

Allen Insurance and Financial's summer internship program creates the opportunity to learn about each of the company's insurance and financial planning departments. Van Lonkhuyzen’s desk is based in the Allen Financial division and he is working under the guidance of Abe Dugal, financial advisor.

“From my very first day, I have been able to see how what I am being taught in classes is applied in the real world with actual problems,” said Van Lonkhuyzen. “Abe Dugal and (company President) Mike Pierce have introduced me to the high quality, team-focused model Allen Financial maintains. My goal this summer is to learn as much as I can so I can further develop the analytical, interpersonal and problem-solving skills I need for a career in finance. “
