- During the fall, I was taking one of my Boler Professional Development courses and one day after class, BPD Bob asked me if I had any interest in possibly working in Dallas over the summer.
- And I was interested in that and I just wanted to learn more.
- From there, he connected me with an alum and board member, Jim Moses, who works for American Airlines and is very well established there.
- So I was able to meet with Jim on campus.
- And then from there, I began the interview process.
- And it was really exciting because I was able to fly down there for the interviews and be a part of a really neat experience that I had never been able to go through before,
- just in the application process.
- And eventually I did get the revenue management internship for this summer.
- So I’ll be working on ticket pricing and I’ll be able to interact with many John Carroll alum in that area.
- Jim already has planned some events where we’re going to go to Rangers games and go out to dinner together.
- So I was really just reminded of how much the John Carroll community looks out for the students and everyone involved.
