Kailan Wendler

About Me
My name is Kailan Wendler and I am a senior Sports, Arts, and Entertainment Management student at Point Park University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I have always been interested in music and have found a passion for attending live events.
Experience
In my freshman year of college, I began street teaming for Drusky Entertainment, a leading promoter in Pittsburgh. In the fall semester of my junior year, I participated in the America 250 PA Initiative. There, I helped to design and develop a marketing campaign to highlight veteran-owned businesses across Pennsylvania. In 2022, I had the opportunity to take on a marketing internship with Stage AE, a popular concert venue on the North Shore. Through reaching out, I have also met with the Tour Manager of Sad Summer Festival and assisted with two festival dates.

Work Philosophy
I am always looking to improve in whatever I am doing. I find it very important to apply yourself in situations in order to learn new things, gain new experiences, and find a source of motivation. I enjoy working in an organized setting with a plan and goals, and will do what it takes to reach my full potential
