Dejohn Ricki Jones, California State University Sacramento, Business, General management.

I decided to pursue an internship with this organization because it would allow me to make many different connections and experience the work involved in developing different athletic programs.

My career goal is to do something inside of athletics, with this experience I will stand out by having background knowledge on how Athletics operates.

Some fun facts about me are that I have five siblings, and I am the oldest of all of them. I also played football and was named first-team all-league and most inspirational by my team.

My favorite quote is “Take the chance while you have the choice” because it reminds me that every opportunity is valuable.

Outside of work, I am interested in playing basketball and watching athletics.

By the end of my internship, I hope to leave this organization with a lot of experience and many connections inside each athletic industry. I also hope to learn new skills that I can bring to my career such as communication and critical thinking as I have come to the understanding that this is well needed in this industry.

In five years I see myself graduating from college and having a very successful job in the athletic industry, While also making connections with entrepreneurs and learning from them.
