Most internship applications inquire about your administrative skills, and attention to detail. We get to that eventually, but what we really want to know is whether you are as enthusiastic about "the life" as we are. Katy is the first applicant that has made US wonder if WE are hard core enough to hang out with HER. On more than one occasion we have caught her camping on the beach, surf fishing for sharks, or napping under a pier in a hammock when she should be packing boxes, mailing stickers, or dancing behind a photographer and making models laugh (her most valuable contribution to date). She also learned to ride a dirtbike before she learned to ride a regular bike - which is why she really got the intern gig. Katy is from landlocked Burlington, NC and is a sophomore at UNCW. She doesn't know what her major will be, but she wants one that will qualify her to travel the country in a VW bus full of all types of boards, and fishing rods.
