Classroom To The Field

WINGTEAM Event Staffing Services
Well, I think it is safe to say that all good things must come to an end. At least for some this may be. As for myself, there has never been a more exciting time in my life. School is over! Well, sort of. In terms of classroom lectures, powerpoint upon powerpoint, midterm and final exams, school is over in every sense of the word. This Is It! No, not the Michael Jackson movie, but our final chapter at ASU. I decided to do my internship with Wingteam Event Staffing Services based in North Scottsdale, AZ. This particular decision was made after my original plan to pursue an internship overseas fell through due to an issue of timing and paperwork.
Nonetheless, I found overwhelming excitement and opportunities that Wingteam has to offer. It was sort of like flipping a coin in terms of what to expect. Heads meant that it was going to be 14 weeks of excel spreadsheets, filling, and making sure the coffee pot was full at all times. Luckily for me, It was tails. Wingteam has approximately 12 events this semester to keep me more than busy with empowering work. As a sales and marketing intern, I am not only responsible for creating excel grids and accounting data, I have the privilege of interviewing and employing event staff which is a first for me and almost unheard of duty for an intern. This is where the word trustworthy and accountability come into play. I trust my boss Yvette Ponte and Dave Wiggs just as they put their trust in myself. Together, with these two vital character traits, I feel it will make for one successful final semester at ASU.
