College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences
Ellie Westermann graduated from the University of Virginia in 2020 with a major in Economics and minor in Social Entrepreneurship. She began working as an intern in Financial Planning and Analysis supporting Altria Client Services over the Summer of 2019. From there, Ellie worked as an Associate Analyst supporting PM USA Sales & Margin for a year and an Analyst in Financial Planning & Analysis supporting PM USA Manufacturing. She currently holds the position of a Senior Financial Analyst supporting USSTC Manufacturing, specifically their Nashville facility. Ellie enjoys working at Altria because this company has a corporate culture where everyone is supportive, welcoming, and celebrates your successes. Ellie's piece of advice to UVA students beginning recruitment this year is to take time to speak to employees at each company you’re interested in and make sure you think it’s a good fit. She found career fairs to be very helpful as they allowed real time conversations with young employees to learn about their experiences and building a network is very important to have a great start to your career.
