Sports MBA 22 Student Sara Johnsen Works 2021 Season with the Los Angeles Dodgers

Sports MBA candidate Sara Johnsen (SMBA '22) recently finished the 2021 season with the Los Angeles Dodgers as a member of the Blue Crew, the gameday promotional team. As a Los Angeles native who attended many games at Dodger Stadium in her youth, Johnsen had always dreamed of working for the Dodgers. In June of 2021, she started with the Blue Crew, interacting with fans at home games and community events. Through this role, she had the opportunity to be a part of opening the new Centerfield Plaza at Dodgers Stadium, escorting fans onto the field for various activations, and helping truly engage fans with the Dodgers brand. 

Throughout her time with the Dodgers, Johnsen gained behind-the-scenes insight into the operations of a professional baseball franchise by working with and shadowing employees from different front office departments. This opportunity also afforded her the chance to meet many Dodgers front office staff through assisting in reception. 

"I'm grateful for this experience for many reasons," said Johnsen, "First, it provided me with an excellent opportunity to network with executives in the sports industry. I was also thrilled to have the experience of working multiple postseason games and watch parties at Dodgers Stadium. Even though the 2021 season has come to an end, I look forward to working future events with the Dodgers organization in the future."
