“BroncoLife has helped me branch out within the Boise community and create an identity outside of athletics, especially as a young professional,” said MaLeigha Menegatti, a senior on the Boise State track and field team.
As a freshman in 2018-19, Menegatti enrolled in Academic 101, a course taught by assistant athletic director for student-athlete development and director of BroncoLife Sara Whiles, as a way to meet other freshmen student-athletes and acclimate to college. During the course, Menegatti was introduced to BroncoLife and the opportunities the program offered student-athletes.
In January 2020, Menegatti attended BroncoLife’s signature event, Connect 2020. The annual event held at Albertsons Headquarters welcomed over 100 professionals in the community, providing Boise State student-athletes the opportunity to connect with specialists in their respective fields of study.
However, for Menegatti, a finance and accounting major, a five-minute conversation with a former Bronco and president of a construction management company proved instrumental in igniting her professional career.
“Toward the end of Connect 2020, I ran into the president of ESI Construction Neil Nelson,” said Menegatti. “We had a quick, friendly conversation about what he does, and I also inquired about internship opportunities. He gave me his card and told me to shoot him an email.”
