Bio
Frank Scotti
Sarah was an intern at Whizbang. As with all interns, we outline what is expected of them, then throw a lot more at them. She handled all tasks extremely well. Great time management, understanding of process. Not sure where Sarah will end up, but wherever it is, she will bring a bit of sanity with her. -Frank Scotti, CIO, Whizbang
Stern Neill
Sarah was a top performer in my BUS 418 class. During the course, she applied multiple research methods (i.e., observation, interview, focus group, and survey methods) to study buyer behavior and develop recommendations for a business client. This hands-on project was done in teams; Sarah's peers gave her very high marks. Based on her overall performance, Sarah is highly capable with strong potential.
