This weekend, I had the amazing opportunity to travel to Savannah, GA, for my second interview with the Savannah Bananas!

Back in November, I applied for a summer internship that aligns with my passion for social media. After my first interview in January, I was fortunate to advance to the second round—with one more step to go!

Throughout this process, I’ve gained valuable insights not only into one of my favorite teams in sports but also into what it takes to build a truly innovative and successful organization. The Bananas’ “Fans First” mindset is something I deeply admire, as it mirrors the philosophy of one of my biggest inspirations—Walt Disney. His dedication to creating magical experiences and putting people first is the same energy the Bananas bring to everything they do.

What sets them apart is their willingness to challenge outdated traditions in sports and embrace creativity, fun and community in a way no other team does. Their impact goes beyond baseball—they are redefining what it means to engage with fans, and I love that.

Being able to interview with such a forward-thinking and passionate organization has been an absolute honor. No matter what happens next, I’m incredibly grateful for this experience!
