Time at Chelsea
As Ellie was searching for internships that aligned with her interests, Chelsea Groton stood out to her for its strong community involvement and welcoming culture.
“The people here are so supportive and kind. What really stands out to me is the client-first mentality. Chelsea Groton doesn’t just serve customers. We build confidence and knowledge through financial literacy classes.”
Ellie appreciates the fast-paced environment of retail banking and the opportunity to work directly with customers. She’s learning how to apply her academic knowledge in a real-world setting and is excited about the skills she is building along the way.
Shaping the Future
Ellie can already see how her time at Chelsea Groton is shaping her professional goals. She’s gaining hands-on experience in customer service, financial solutions, and teamwork—skills that will serve her no matter where her path leads.
Beyond the Office
Outside of work, Ellie is a competitive sailor who spends time on the water any chance she can get. Sailing has been a major part of her life. Ellie’s favorite experience so far has been racing in the 2022 Newport to Bermuda Race with the local youth sailing team MudRatz.
When she isn’t sailing, Ellie enjoys spending time with friends and family, especially on the water.
