Most likely she was in in a social media communication PR position with the franchise which is an entry level positive for many sports/communication majors out of college. 

I had a nephew work one of those in the NHL...................Rush Limbaugh had his first job in the media doing PR for the KC Royals in MLB....

Those jobs barely pay a living wage and if you are single work for a while as you try to climb the ladder.......my nephew couldn't afford to live alone and had to find a roommate to pay the bills...........for some they get to rub shoulders a bit with the players and other higher profile media type which is where they hope will be their ticket out of the "paying your dues" position they are in.

If you take a job like this with a NASCAR team they send you out on the road with a body shell look alike show car and you sit out front at a sponsors store front and hand out discount flyers to shoppers as they ask dumb questions about a car that often doesn't even have an engine in it.......

In other words the job sucks.............and nobody knows you are doing it.

you have to start somewhere and if sports is your passion I imagine getting your foot in the proverbial door of a nfl franchise could be rewarding down the road

That's exactly what my nephew did for an NHL team.....being a sports junkie and working in communications it was a dream starter job for him.....but once meeting a girl and wanting to get married he couldn't wait to find a job that paid a livable wage.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
