I completed my Capstone with the Boston Red Sox in the team’s Florida Business Operations department as an operations intern at JetBlue Park, the spring training home and year-round training facility for the team. As someone who grew up within 35 miles of Boston, working for this organization was a dream come true.
I played a significant role in ensuring the facility’s cleanliness and overall presentation were top-notch for all events. I also learned to live on my own in an unfamiliar location.
I’ll never forget introducing myself to Hall of Famer Jim Rice or exchanging head nods with 2013 World Series MVP David Ortiz. Special moments such as these were commonplace during the seven weeks of spring training, and it was an opportunity I’ll always cherish.
