Heath Hunter, Former Intern "... This is certainly not a coffee-getting or copy-making internship. I have been given the chance to spend time in each functional area of the Naturalizer division, as well as tackle a real world problem that holds great significance to our brand: size & width. In addition to the experience and knowledge I have gained, the relationships that I have formed have made an even greater impression on me. I feel very fortunate to have been a part of this program and I thank all those who either gave me this opportunity or helped me along the way."
