“So far, it’s been an amazing experience,” Heath says of her new role, which started recently. “Everyone here is welcoming and allowing me to take on different projects. Already I’m learning more about the role of the NCAA, and I’m excited to to see what the next year holds for me.

Heath is working 40 hours a week, Monday through Friday. “I’ll also be working at events, including NCAA championship games and any other activity that involves the organization.”

For Heath, it’s just the latest in a progression of impressive resume builders. During her time at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ, Heath worked as a student assistant in the Office of Athletic Communications, and also served as a communications intern with the National Football League in New York City.
