Accounting Intern

June - August 2019 • Sacramento, CA

What I liked

I was not the stereotypical intern in charge of coffee orders, cleanliness duties, or other such tasks with little significance. I liked that I was actually working on accounting projects that were benefitting the company. The projects I was working on actually mattered as they assisted my managers and coworkers in their daily tasks. I was able to gain a lot of valuable experience and learn about my desired profession through this opportunity.

Advice

If you have the opportunity to intern for the Kings, 110% take it. From the work you do, to the “behind the scenes” exposure you get for a professional sports team (and event venue), it’s truly a worthwhile experience. The atmosphere in the office is amazing as it’s an encouraging learning environment and everyone operates as one team.

This type of career is a grind, but you just have to keep your head up and push through any setbacks you may have. Also have fun with it.

Business Analytics Intern

June - September 2018 • Sacramento, CA

What I liked

Interning at the Kings was an amazing, career-changing experience. The program was heavily geared towards me and my interests, and my team was always making sure that I was working on projects that I actually wanted to work on. Being able to apply concepts and technical skills learned in class to a real, professional sports business was invaluable. This experience solidified my interest in my field of statistics.

What I wish was different

The only thing I wish had been different is if the analytics team at the Kings had a data scientist that could have mentored me during my time there. Although I had support from my team, they worked on a wide range of tasks that did not always apply to me.
