Spring Internship with A Turf

Hi fellow interns,

My name is Kyle Wright, I am a junior Management major and defensive captain of the football team here at Linfield(#10). I am interning with A Turf inc. this spring doing market research. I am very excited to work under Vice President Rob Gloeckner and to work for a very large company. For my internship I will be working on a project gathering all schools in the west coast(Washington, Oregon, California) with an athletic field. I will be contacting each school and gathering data about the athletic field they currently have, if it is turf, and if they don't have turf, what is keeping them from getting it. I will reporting my research monthly in Portland at Rob's office. This is going to be a great opportunity to  grow my professional and high-level sales skills while building my resume and getting involved firsthand in the business world.

I have already begun my research, I have built an excel template which turned out to be very tricky. I have also had a hard time sorting out schools without athletic teams. I have a meeting with Rob in Portland later this week to refine my excel sheet and to spend some time in the office.

I look forward to reading more about everyone's internships, some people really got some great opportunities!!
