Introducing Valter Ragnesjö: Our New Member Services & Community Intern!

Who is Valter Ragnesjö?

I am a 23-year old student currently enrolled at Lund University, who chose this internship as my elective semester of my Bachelor’s degree in Business and Economics. I am originally from Stockholm, Sweden, and have always had a big interest in sports. As a result, I spent the majority of my childhood playing American football. Since my football “career” has ended, you can instead find me playing golf or tennis as a way to stay active. Apart from this, I also enjoy traveling with my family and spending time with friends. 

What drew you to SACC-NE and Boston?

I knew from the beginning that I would rather get practical experience than to study during my elective semester. So  when being presented with this opportunity, choosing SACC-NE was a no-brainer for me. To work abroad and expand my network in an international setting felt like something I could not pass up on. The decision was also made a lot easier when I found out that the internship was situated in Boston, which is home to a lot of inspiring companies in industries such as AI, Life Science, and Finance.  

What is a fun fact about you?

During the pandemic, I took a full-time job as a construction worker, helping to build a new highway in pitch-black tunnels.
