It's a new week and we have a new SJMC student internship spotlight! AJ Reisetter is interning with the Spearfish Sasquatch in Spearfish South Dakota. We'll let him tell you a little more about the opportunities he's had so far.

"This summer I am the broadcast intern for the Spearfish Sasquatch in Spearfish South Dakota. It has been so fun enhancing my broadcasting skills but also working and learning alongside one of my best friends Aidan Wirtz. We have worked together to build each broadcast with the equipment that we have while also telling amazing stories along the way.

By far the coolest moment so far was when I interviewed 2x World Series Champion and World Series MVP Ben Zobrist. There are not too many opportunities you get to meet and talk with a guy that has reached the pinnacle of his career, but I was given that experience and it’s one I’ll never forget."

We're headed to the Heartland for today's SJMC Internship Spotlight! Zoe Marckmann is interning with Athene in Des Moines, Iowa! Hear from her about how she's using skills learned in SJMC classes at her internship!

"I’m excited to be working as a Social Media Marketing Intern at Athene this summer. It’s been an incredible experience applying what I’ve learned in the classroom to real-world projects. From refreshing the company’s LinkedIn presence to contributing to the social media calendar and developing organic brand campaigns. I'm grateful for this experience and to be part of such a driven and innovative team."

Well done Zoe! 🎉
