Perspectives of an Immigrant
Oct 08, 2025
Anila joined RBC as an intern in the Lake Forest Branch in January of 2023, there she had the opportunity to explore her passion of the finance world. Her dedication and enthusiasm led to a full-time position as a client associate at RBC’s North Shore office after graduating from Lake Forest College. At just 16 years old, Anila took a brave step and moved to the Netherlands to pursue the prestigious International Baccalaureate Diploma Program at UWC Maastricht, the Netherlands. This experience not only demonstrated her independence but also fostered a growth mindset and disciplined approach to life. Living and studying amongst the brightest students from an astonishing 100 different nationalities, she soaked in a rich cultural experience that molded her into the individual she is today. With a thirst for knowledge, she later relocated to the United States to pursue a bachelor’s degree in economics, and Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Anila will be sharing her story of living in a post war country, Kosovo to taking a brave step at 16 and moving to the Netherlands on her own, and then later relocating to the Unites States. A journey full of sacrifices for her and her family, new opportunities, experiences, and full of uncertainties that shaped her into the individual that she is today.

The work ethic of the team, the rich history of agriculture, and the climate made it an ideal place for dairy farming.” Bert Sartori, President While each generation of Sartori family leadership has had their own style, they’ve always been united under one mission: to make the best cheese in the world.
