Freshman, Sports and Commercial Turf Management, Institute of Agricultural Technology
Internship: Philadelphia Phillies; Philadelphia, PA
Q: How did you choose your internship?
A: I chose this internship because it was an exciting new experience, going from working at the Single A Lansing Lugnuts, to the Major League Phillies.
Q: Summarize what you are doing this summer at your internship.
A: Since I arrived in Philadelphia on April, 1 I've been doing everything from mowing the field, fertilizing, core cultivation, as well as mound, plate and bullpen repairs.
Q: What is the most important thing that you have learned from your internship?
A: The most important thing I've learned this summer on my internship is not to be afraid to make mistakes and ask questions or ask for help.
Q: What will you miss the most when your internship ends?
A: I will miss the people the most, everyone I work with is a character. They’re the kind of people that would give the shirt off their back to you.
Q: What was the biggest hardship, adjustment, or challenge of this internship?
A: The biggest obstacle I've faced so far is either the higher paced, demand of perfection that people come to expect from a Major League field, or when my bosses put us in charge of the field events when the team is away.
