A Night to Remember with the Flyers & Holman

I was beyond grateful for the opportunity to be part of The Next Shift Program with the Philadelphia Flyers and Holman, a program dedicated to uplifting and empowering women in sports. 30 woman were chosen out off 400 applicants and while I wish we all could have attended, I was immensely grateful to have been chosen. This experience gave me an inside look at the business side of game day operations, and I was lucky enough to be paired with two incredible mentors, Adrienne Briones-Carlson and Katherine Johnson, some of the creative minds behind the Flyers’ retail department.

Following a panel of the leading ladies at the Comcast Spectator company, I got to go behind the scenes inside the Wells Fargo Center. Stepping behind the scenes of game day retail was fascinating—I got to see just how much effort goes into creating a seamless fan experience. What made it even more special was bonding with Katherine over our shared experience in the Disney College Program. It was such a cool full-circle moment to connect my past with my future in the sports world. Both Adrienne and Katherine’s creativity and dedication to their work were truly inspiring, and I walked away with valuable insights that I’ll carry with me as I continue growing in this industry.

And to top it all off, I got to bring my nephew and his friend to their very first Flyers game! Seeing the excitement on their faces made the night even more unforgettable.

A huge thank you to the Flyers and Holman for this amazing experience and for continuing to support women in sports. I can’t wait to apply everything I’ve learned as I move forward in my career!
