My NFL Films internship has been a dream come true. My goals were to network with everyone I could, find a mentor, and create content I could be proud of and take from Films. I achieved all three.
If you had asked me on my first day if I'd expect to get hired as a morning show producer and on-air DJ at the radio station I listened to as a child — I wouldn't have believed you. They took a chance on me before I even graduated.
It is now almost May and I can say that this internship has been one of the best growth experiences for me since starting college. I have learned invaluable skills and how to carry myself as a professional.
Little did I know that all of those expectations would not only be met, but far exceeded. In this time, I not only sharpened my skills, but strengthened my mind in a way where I could continue to overcome challenges on a larger scale.
My time with the Delaware Blue Coats was something I will never forget. I got to see exactly what ESPN-level production looks like from the inside — switchers, cameras, audio rigs. Everything clicked.
Overall, this internship has taught me a lot about working in a professional setting and ultimately makes me so much more confident to go out into the real world and show them what I've got.
Despite being just an intern, I knew from day one that this would be a place I wanted to make a career for myself. My college career is coming to an end, and they want me to stick around and help produce their content.
I learned that getting an internship earlier in college rather than later is a smart decision — it helps you learn quicker, gain more connections, and open doors you didn't even know existed yet.
Every game, I learned new skills, new work ethics, new ways to be efficient, and more about how MLB works. It also helped me build and expand my network in ways I hadn't anticipated going in.
This internship and my experiences covering live events taught me to double down on skills I was building at Rowan — and then I was teaching colleagues back on campus what I'd learned in the field.
The networking aspect is very good — everyone at All That's Good has connections with people that are definitely good to know, and I think this could help me in my future if I ever get in a rut.
Many times in this internship I was told I was going down the right path, and every time I heard that it encouraged me to be better, to do more, and to learn as much as humanly possible.
This internship transpired tremendous growth both professionally and personally. I got to network with producers, DPs, gaffers, actors, and crew members across different production roles.
Without this internship, I feel I still would've been wondering how to get experience in my industry. I think this allowed me to better myself and my skills — while also being something to put on my resume.
