SENIOR SEMINAR INFORMATIONAL INTERVIEWS
Sport and Recreation Management majors in Senior Seminar are
out and about interviewing professionals who currently hold a
job which interests them. Here’s Cameron “Cami” Wylie who
met Cristina Blanco (left) and asked her questions about her position as Coordinator of Fan Loyalty and Digital Marketing for
the Miami Marlins. Cami did an internship with the Texas Marshalls of the Texan Collegiate League this past summer. She is
interested in continuing a career in baseball after she graduates.
Cami is also on the NSU Women’s Soccer team. She has a busy
schedule on and off the field. However, she said that it was
worth taking a break out of her busy day to meet Cristina at Marlins Park for the face-to-face interview.
