SPORTS BUSINESS

 

Student

Alessandra Rodriguez

Senior, Business Administration (Sports Business)
Hometown: Tracy, California

Someone once told me if your job doesn’t give you goosebumps, you probably shouldn’t be doing it. And this industry and all of my internships have definitely always given me goosebumps. Whether it’s after the 100th volleyball game or basketball game, I am just so excited. I get butterflies in my stomach and goosebumps. I love it.

If I was to go back to my freshman self and say, “You’re going to work at events like the Super Bowl, winter and summer Olympic trials, the NBA All-Star game, the World Series, and work directly with marquee athletes like LeBron, Kevin Durant, Shaun White, and Antonio Brown and do all this stuff within three years,” I would have laughed at myself.
