I'm very family-oriented and have always been close to my two brothers—an older brother and a twin. My parents have always made sure that we have had experiences. My brothers were in baseball when we were all younger and I loved going to their games. My parents also took us to many Brewers games and we also watched many games on TV. I think my passion for working in sports came from those family experiences. Watching my brothers baseball games were some of my favorite childhood memories. Interning for a baseball team, brought me back to those warm Wisconsin nights, watching my brothers play baseball with their friends.
As someone who is trying to work in sports and has had two internships with a baseball organization. I understand the level of effort and hustle required on a daily basis. Sports is a fast-paced industry, and over the past two summers, I’ve had the chance to experience it firsthand—and I’ve fallen in love with it. The two main things I've learned in the time working at the DockHounds for two years is you have to be a a team player. Whether the task handed to you is the worst job you could think of or something you've been eager to learn, you have to be up for anything. The second thing I've learned is you have to be a chess player, not a checkers player. Being a chess player means you have to be strategically thinking ahead and planning what to do next rather than just doing what is in front of you and immediate decisions.
One thing I'm most proud of from my internship is our beer can stories. At the Lake Country DockHounds, there are beer can races, similar to the sausage races at the Brewers game. The social media team got tasked to come up with unique personalities for the 3 beer cans. After coming up with the personalities, I came up with the idea to make a short video to highlight each beer can. We storyboarded each beer can and brought them to life through short videos for fans to really get to know them.
