GET TO KNOW THE
2020 SUMMER INTERNS
Fast five questions with the KicksBySammy interns
1. What made you apply to be a part of the KicksBySammy team?
Alyssa: I applied to become a KicksBySammy intern because I love Sammy’s designs and the brand she has built. Plus, I’m so inspired by her work ethic!
Abigail: I applied to be a part of the KicksBySammy team because I had been following KicksBySammy on Instagram for years and was able to watch the business grow from just customized shoes to so much more. So, I definitely wanted to become a part of the team and learn alongside other college students my age to combine our interests and create new ideas to help expand the KBS brand.
