Fall 2022
As the end of 2022 grows near, so does the end of our fall internship. In their last week of the program, we’d like to share some final thoughts from the interns themselves. Walker Sapp, Marissa Schneider, and Yianni Gormanos, we appreciate your time with us and wish you all the best.
Message from Walker:
“My internship with FanCompass this winter has been an extremely rewarding experience. I felt welcomed into the company almost immediately and was able to form key connections with each member of the team, as well as my fellow interns. I want to give a shout-out to Aaron Mendle who helped support me a ton in my role as an account management intern, and who has been an awesome mentor over these past three months. I truly felt that I was having an impact and was a key contributor to the success of FanCompass.
Being exposed to all different aspects of the sports industry has given me a much clearer understanding of what areas of the industry I want to pursue in the future. I was able to get real hands-on experience while wearing a bunch of different hats that I might not have elsewhere. Being able to interact and communicate with teams and clients, understanding their needs and wants, and being responsible for setting up campaigns was really enjoyable. I was also able to learn a lot about sponsorship, sales, analytics, and fan engagement. I feel that I have gained invaluable experience that I can apply wherever I go next. I would highly recommend an internship at FanCompass for any who are looking to work in the sports industry!”
Message from Marissa:
“As a current junior at Syracuse University, I wanted to find a way to learn outside of the classroom and in a real-world setting. FanCompass gave me the perfect opportunity to do just that. I was able to learn and grow both inside and outside of the classroom. I learned so much about myself and what it’s like to work in the sports industry. Additionally, I have really grown to love FanCompass and everyone on the team here. I am so grateful for this experience and for the entire team who supported and guided me through my time here. I am looking forward to the future and watching FanCompass grow!”
Message from Yianni:
“My time at FanCompass has been a very beneficial experience for me in my professional career. I was given the opportunity to gain insight into multiple facets of the company. During my time here, I was presented with unique challenges where I was able to get first-hand exposure to applicable work in the Sports and Technology industry. In a competitive industry, FanCompass gave me the chance to come work for them while giving me tools and guidance that led me to find my own success during the internship. I am very grateful for the wonderful team I worked with and the knowledge I am able to walk away with. It has been very insightful and wonderful to learn and help out with the great work FanCompass does. I am glad I can say I was a part of this company and excited to see what other barriers they will break in the future.”
