Eastern Student Caroline Scarrozzo of Berlin Completes Successful Internship

2017 Aug 28

Caroline Scarrozzo '18 of Berlin recently completed an internship with New England Financial Group in West Hartford, a division of Baystate Financial. Scarrozzo's major is Business Administration.

Her role at New England Financial Group was marketing specialist. The position involved assisting a certified financial planner and his team with marketing projects including branding, web site development and coordinating a communications strategy. She also assisted with tasks related to registering and marketing a new business venture including web, logo, collateral design and development. On occasion, she also provided administrative and sales support assistance.

According to Scarrozzo, "In addition to the marketing experience I gained, my internship provided me with valuable knowledge about the financial industry and how it works. My daily interaction with people helped me develop a set of personal interaction skills that are appropriate for any business setting. The skills and knowledge I gained from this internship can be utilized not only in the financial industry, but in any field that I choose to pursue in the future."

"Internships are important because they can help students identify career paths that highlight their specific set of skills and knowledge, and vice versa. My favorite part about the internship was interacting with my great coworkers. From the moment that I walked into the office on my first day of work, I felt welcomed. The helping hand that everyone so willingly lent should be mirrored in all workplaces. New England Financial Group is truly one big family."

She will continue working part-time for New England Financial Group during the fall semester. Scarrozzo plans on attending graduate school to pursue an M.B.A. after graduating in December.
