Alumni spotlight: Sport management alumna engages fans
Elsa Paulick (B.S.Ed. ’24) always knew she wanted to work in sports. A Savannah native, she got involved with an up-and-coming baseball team, the Savannah Bananas, in 2020 to gain experience in the sports industry and build her resume.
“I think what really drew me to working here was the atmosphere, and it’s so fun. We’re fans first, the energy is insane in the best way possible,” said Paulick, an alumna of the Mary Frances Early College of Education’s sport management program.
Since then, the Savannah Bananas, an independent professional baseball team based in Savannah, Georgia, has exploded in popularity. Now in her fifth season with the team, Paulick stayed involved as the Bananas grew and worked her way up to a full-time position.
