Kelsey Anderberg believes global citizen-ship starts at home.
The NIC alumni says the personalized atten-tion and increased exposure to interna-tional opportunities that she received as a student widened her horizons and launched her career as a com-mercial banker.
She credits instruc-tor Nick Robinson for her involvement in two international exchang-es, first at the Warsaw School of Economics in Poland, and in a subse-quent year at Kapiola-ni Community College in Hawaii.
Robinson helped her obtain an Irving Bar-ber Scholarship to fund her international expe-rience, and gave her valuable advice and direction to ensure she got the most out of her exchanges.
Anderberg was in Poland for six months studying econom-ics and international business, living in a dorm that housed 600 students from across Europe, North Ameri-ca, and Asia. This expe-rience, along with her Hawaiian exchange, helped build her con-fidence communicating across cultures.
After graduating
from NIC, she went to work at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Com-merce (CIBC), quickly propelling through the ranks. In early 2015, she was promoted to Commercial Banking Manager, with a ter-ritory that extends from Qualicum to Port Hardy. She splits her time between CIBC’s Campbell River and Comox Valley branches on Vancouver Island.
“This position would not have been offered to me had I not had a business degree,” she said explaining that the opportunities she received at NIC were invaluable to her career. “The interna-tional experience and the cultural diversity on my resume is mas-sive.”
According to the Canadian Bureau for International Educa-tion (CBIE), the skills gained through inter-national studies are highly sought-after in today’s economy.
Anderberg’s interna-tional experience gave her a new way of look-ing at herself and the world. Her experience in Poland was espe-cially instrumental in broadening her under-standing of the global marketplace. As a com-
mercial banking man-ager, she is able to take this understanding to the local level, building diverse relationships in the community to foster a thriving busi-ness environment.
“My job is not a job everyone gets at a young age. It really is a destination posi-tion,” she says. “The clients are special. When you’re talking to an owner about their business, it’s exciting because it’s their baby. It’s a real privilege to be part of that.”
Her experience travelling internation-ally has enriched her appreciation for the North Island. After travelling thousands of miles from home, she is happy to have her feet planted firm-ly in her hometown.

She volunteers with Ducks Unlimited as an advocate for wildlife conservation and the preservation of wet-lands and estuaries, and is an active mem-ber of the Young Pro-fessionals of Campbell River.
As NIC alumni, she
has been a strong pro-ponent of the business program, where she gained a solid foun-dation in financial analysis, marketing and human resources, skills that gave her confidence to pursue
