Let's learn a little more about Hailee.
What made you want to intern at JMP?
After working in events and hospitality for the past 5 years, I wanted a change of pace. I wanted to be able to still manage events and create customer relationships but in a more 9-5 type of setting. My friend @hannah_martin works for JMP and she suggested applying for this internship. She has raved about the positive work environment and benefits here at JMP, and it just made sense for me.
As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a drummer in a rock band (lol).
What's something most people don't know about you?
Something that most people don't know about me is that I backpacked the Appalachian Trail for a week in high school.
Of the places you've visited, what's your favorite?
This is a tough question, last year I traveled to over 12 different cities in Europe, but I would have to say my top 2 would be Amsterdam and Barcelona.
What are you most excited about this internship?
Learning more about the corporate side of events and hospitality.
What do you hope to accomplish during this internship?
I hope to add a least one new initiative to the User Enablement team that encourages event attendance rates.

What advice would you give prospective intern applicants?
Be confident in your abilities, you are where you are at for a reason and you should be proud of that.
