Wabash, Ind. – Visit Wabash County is excited to announce that Evelynn Gray, a Wabash High School Senior, has joined the organization for the Fall semester as the Visitor Services Intern.
Gray’s school and community activities include Wabash Varsity Swim, Soccer and Tennis teams, Secretary of the Senior Class for Student Council, Key Club, National Honors Society, Academic Teams, Wabash High School Extension Club, Apaches in Action Club, Athletic Student Council, and is a 10 year 4-H member.
“I have been very impressed with Evelynn’s work ethic and professionalism, and what she has been able to accomplish so far. She is an excellent addition to our team, and I am excited to see her grow and develop in this position,” said Margie Justice, Visitor Services for Visit Wabash County.
The Visitor Services Intern is responsible for greeting and helping visitors, assisting with the oversight of the Welcome Center, merchandising, restocking brochure racks, assembling welcome/information bags, and Visitor Guide distribution. “I knew I wanted to pursue business after I took the entrepreneurship class Wabash provided,” Said Gray. “My class group began our own business and actually sold our product through the Welcome Center. We met with Christine Flohr and from that point on I knew interning here would be a great opportunity. I am very excited to gain more experience working with people, learning how to work in an office environment, and making connections through my internship.”
After graduation, Gray plans on attending Indiana University Bloomington or Ball State and majoring in Business or Marketing.
Christine Flohr, Executive Director of Tourism said, “The student internship program is a great way for Visit Wabash County to engage active and dedicated young leaders, like Evelynn. She is very professional, task oriented, and eager to learn. She is a great addition to our team.”
