Future Leaders in Sports and Entertainment

As this summer comes to a close, I want to reflect on my incredible experience with the Detroit Lions as a Training Camp Assistant in the Marketing Department. This opportunity was nothing short of extraordinary, and I am beyond grateful for all that I’ve learned and the relationships I’ve formed along the way. From the people I met to the hands-on experiences I gained, the memories I’ve made will stay with me throughout my entire career! Throughout this internship, we had the opportunity to be involved in almost every aspect of event management, marketing operations, and partnerships. The long, hard hours spent working in the sun to build the training camp footprint were all worth it when the fans arrived, and we saw the joy it brought them to watch their Lions in preseason practice. It was truly rewarding to see the impact of our work. I’d like to give a special thank you to Andrew Frey, Faelan O’Brien, and Anna Dabaldo for your guidance and belief in me from the very beginning. Your knowledge of the sports industry was extremely insightful, and I will carry it with me as I move forward in my career. Additionally, a big shoutout to my other TCA team members, you truly made this experience unforgettable! I know each of you will go on to do amazing things, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for all of you! Detroit is such a special place, backed by an even more special organization, and I am so proud to have been part of One Pride!🏈💙🦁

Today marks the conclusion of my summer internship with 313 Presents as a Marketing Promotions Assistant, and what a journey it has been! As I head back to Michigan State University for my senior year, I'm carrying with me invaluable knowledge about the entertainment industry and skills that will undoubtedly shape my future career. This summer, I had the surreal opportunity to not only work but immerse myself in concerts at iconic venues like Little Caesars Arena, Comerica Park, Pine Knob, Fox Theatre, Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre, and Meadow Brook Amphitheatre. Witnessing firsthand what it takes to execute a successful show was both eye-opening and inspiring. I’m incredibly grateful to have played a role in this intricate process. When I started this internship, I had two main goals: to grow both personally and professionally and to forge new friendships and connections. I’m proud to say that I achieved both. I owe a huge thank you to every person I worked alongside these past few months. Your positive influence and constant encouragement pushed me to excel every day. A special shoutout to Kim Klein and Dean Seaver for giving me this incredible opportunity and for your unwavering support throughout my time with 313 Presents. Finally, I want to express my deepest gratitude to my amazing teammates, Haley Brass and Rachel Kramer. You turned every show into a celebration, and working together felt like anything but work. The bond we created in what felt like such a short time will stay with me forever. As I close this chapter, I’m excited to take the lessons and experiences I've gained and apply them in the next steps of my journey. I look forward to staying connected with the incredible people I’ve met and continuing to explore the endless possibilities in the entertainment industry. Here’s to the future and all that lies ahead! 💙

As my time interning with the Chicago Bears Event Operations Team has come to a close, I’m filled with gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to such a legendary organization. This experience has been nothing short of incredible, and I’ve gained invaluable skills that will shape my future career. During Training Camp, I had the privilege of not only managing the operational logistics but also taking on key responsibilities that required careful attention and adaptability. From transporting players and coaches to assisting with the needs of special guests, every task provided a valuable opportunity to learn and grow. This role allowed me to hone my ability to juggle multiple responsibilities while consistently delivering high-quality results—a summer I’ll never forget. Thank you to the Chicago Bears for this unforgettable experience, and a special thank you to Elizabeth Peters, Meghan Clancy, Alex Murillo, Lorena Soria, M.S., Nishant Mukherjee, and Lee Twarling for your guidance and support. As I transition to my next chapter, I’m excited to start my Event Management Internship with Michigan State University Athletics where I look forward to applying the skills and insights I’ve gained and continuing to grow in the field. Bear Down, and Go Green! 🐻⬇️
