We’re so excited to have University of Connecticut student Joaquin Merlo-Garzon join us as a finance intern this semester! Thanks to Christine Sullivan and Connecticut Small Business Development Center for facilitating this wonderful collaboration.
Here’s Joaquin’s full bio: I’m a freshman at the University of Connecticut, majoring in finance with a strong interest in entrepreneurship. I’ve gained hands-on experience working in my family’s businesses, particularly in construction and cabinetry through companies like Arredi and Spazzio. Outside of work, I’m passionate about tennis, soccer, and spending time at the beach. My career goals include pursuing a path in consulting or investment banking, with the long-term ambition of starting my own business.
