Today, we’re putting the spotlight on an outstanding Metcalf employer: SuretyNow!
Co-founded by UChicago alumnus Bruce Chi (AB’17), SuretyNow provides a digital platform designed to help businesses and contractors quickly access affordable surety bonds.
This summer, the company hired four UChicago Metcalf interns to support its content marketing and SEO initiatives.
The team included:
- Nievez Montañez Ojeda, Class of 2026
- Daniel Ngira, Class of 2026
- Chloe Sun, Class of 2026
- Jessica Zang, Class of 2026
“During my time at SuretyNow, I interned as a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) specialist, engaging in tasks where I collaborated with Cofounders to craft top-notch on-site content like blogs, landing pages, and FAQs,” said Nievez. “Under the guidance of my mentor, Jay, I embraced a culture of curiosity, delving into the intricacies of SEO work and its connection to marketing. I also learned skills that can be applicable across diverse work environments, an experience I genuinely cherished.”
"I had a great experience at SuretyNow, gaining knowledge of both the surety bond industry and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategy as well as mentorship from the co-founders,” said Chloe. “I was able to be directly involved in the company's marketing strategy through writing informative articles while also determining what kind of articles I would write to increase consumer engagement with our website."
“My time at SuretyNow allowed me to intimately understand what working at a startup is like, and I truly admire the adaptability, creativity, and drive that people harbor in this environment,” said Jessica. “I’m incredibly grateful to the founders for supporting me and giving me the unique opportunity to experience incredibly diverse work within just one internship, from data analysis to SEO marketing to website/UI design. This summer has absolutely been worth it—I’ve learned many valuable lessons and skills from this internship that I’m excited to apply in the future.”
Congratulations to our Metcalf interns on their great work this summer, and thank you to our partners at SuretyNow for making this experience possible!
