John M. Clark, CFP®

Mackenzie Ross was one of the best interns we have had in the years I’ve worked here. She quickly showed that she is self-motivated and was able to understand the projects we gave her with little need for hand holding or micro managing. She managed her time very efficiently and is detail oriented. Her follow through with all of the projects we gave was really what set her apart. Mackenzie proved very apt in completing a wide set of tasks from helping to re-brand our entire division, to the planning and running of a successful client event with over 100 attendees. Mackenzie exhibited the skills and attributes to be a success in whatever she chooses to do.
