Primary Responsibilities: As in intern at AspenCross Financial, I work directly with the Marketing Manager on marketing projects.

Blog Entry: Working at AspenCross Financial has given me a real feel for what it is like to work in a business environment, and has shown me what a marketing manager does on the job every day. I have learned to take a marketing project and work on it independently. I have also been able to gain new skills in researching and working with Excel.
I have worked independently while researching information on towns to produce books that representatives use when they are targeting potential clients. The book is composed of a lot of information and data so it is a significant project. It has taught me to come into work and be independent in knowing what needs to get done. When I have completed a book, I feel a great sense of accomplishment.
