Introducing FWA's 2025 Summer Interns

June 5, 2025

The FWA is pleased to welcome Riya Shah and Joanna Jordan from the Jaggar Community Fellows Program at Adelphi University. This competitive program offers paid nonprofit internships, benefiting both organizations and students. Riya joins us as our Database Management & Data Analysis intern, and Joanna is our Marketing and Communications intern.


"I am Riya Shah, pursuing my Master of Science in Business Analytics from Adelphi University. Through this internship, I am looking forward to apply the skills I have learned throughout my course of study and be there whenever needed and to be the asset to the company. I am interested to work in the field of finance as well as IT and I feel working with FWA would be a wonderful opportunity for me to get a hands-on experience of the corporate world as well as in the field of finance."


"My name is Joanna Jordan, a rising junior at Adelphi University majoring in Finance with a minor in Communications (Journalism and Public Relations). As an international student from Jamaica, I have held leadership roles such as Peer Assistant Leader, Commuter Assistant Leader, and Executive Treasurer of the Student Government Association. I am actively involved in the Willumstad Business School’s Student Investment Fund and Finance Club, and I was recently named a Willumstad Leadership Scholar. Passionate about volunteerism, I have contributed to community service projects locally across Long Island and abroad in both Jamaica and Puerto Rico. I am always interested in helping others and making people happy!"


We're excited to have Riya and Joanna join us, as their contributions will help advance our mission of empowering all women in finance while providing them valuable experience in the nonprofit sector.
