Nicolette Gaff is from Midlothian, Virginia. Nicolette is a junior double majoring in Corporate Financial Management and Management (EIT).  

Nicolette interned for Drone Brothers in the summer of 2022.

We asked Nicolette to share both her internship and Pamplin experiences with us.

How did you find your internship? How long did you work there? What was your title and what did you do for them? 

I found this internship through LinkedIn. I worked here for 3 months. My title was a Social Media and Business Development Intern. Here I implemented company-wide social media strategies across all social media platforms. Additionally, I reached out to 500+ potential clients to introduce the Drone Brothers drone services for the Construction Industry. 

What do you want to do after graduation? 

After graduation, I hope to go into Investment Banking or Sports Management.

What advice would you give to an incoming Pamplin freshman?

Be open to all opportunities that arise. If an opportunity seems scary, it will probably be rewarding. Ask your professors as many questions as possible. They love to dive deeper into their previous professional experience, and this could lead to valuable connections.

What is your favorite part about being a management and or Pamplin student?

All Management professors are on your side. They truly want the best for each student and will provide connections to reach your goals.

If any, what organizations are you in and what do you enjoy about them?

I am currently an Operation Intern with Triumph NIL. I enjoy assisting the Triumph Team in finding fellow Hokie Student-Athletes meaningful partnerships and helping the company with internal organizational efforts. I also intern with Virginia Tech Athletics Marketing Department where I assist with in-game promotional events to engage fans for all sporting events here at Virginia Tech.
