Lancers Inspire
Campus Style
Isabella Assirati '26
What she does: I help Ms. Pazmany, Lancer Locker manager, with whatever she needs: inventory, organizing, receiving shipments, printing out tags. Sometimes I help her with design decisions for spirit wear. I go with my personal style and what is trending.
Why she wanted the internship: Last summer, I was learning about business on my own and wanted a practical experience. I thought of Lancer Locker because I like fashion. When I was nine I ran a store on Etsy selling things I would crochet, though my only customer was my grandma. The internship was perfect timing because the store wanted an intern, and I was seeking an internship.
What she’s learning about retail operations: Lancer Locker runs on Shopify, and I am learning how it’s integrated and about fulfilling online orders. I’ve learned about inventory, but I already knew about a point-of-sale system. I’m also learning how Ms. Pazmany makes decisions about what she thinks is going to do well. Whatever she's doing, I get to learn. And learned that I'm determined and organized. I like to be precise.
What her plans are: I want to go into business, but my dream of being a lawyer has returned because of my AP U.S. History class, which I love. I might want to combine law and business and fuel both passions.
Why she loves having a real-world opportunity: I’m learning things that are going to be applicable later on in life. When Mr. Curtis was my advisor, he told me multiple times to seek other opportunities. Pursuing things that haven't been done before is one of the exciting things about Saint Francis. Mrs. Teekell said that we need to see our school as a place with endless opportunities. Everyone is really open to trying new things, innovating and giving power to the students. School internships make us more prepared for real life. This has given me an opportunity to know what I'm actually passionate about to study in college.
What’s on her resume: I have four jobs under my belt now. It’s good to keep building your resume. On campus, I do Next Level flag football coaching, have tutored, and worked at the front desk at a country club. Mr Curtis taught me to not just look at things the way they are. Look at the way things could be.
