Operations Interns

James Gilmore


Hello, my name is James Gilmore. I am from Richmond, Virginia. I graduated from Virginia Tech in December 2023 with a degree in Sports Media & Analytics and minors in Event Management and Leadership. I am a huge sports fan and cheer on my alma mater with passion. Go Hokies! My favorite thing about sports is the way they bring people together. Golf does this better than any other sport by welcoming people from all walks of life. I intend to make a career working in the game and can’t wait to learn all I can this spring. I look forward to meeting golfers of all ages and experience and helping them develop a passion for the game.

Andrew Pace


Hello, my name is Andrew Pace, and I’m excited to be a part of the spring internship with the STPGA. I’m originally from Bel Air, Maryland, a small town just north of Baltimore. I graduated from High Point University, where I studied Business Administration, Sports Management, and Marketing. Growing up, I played a variety of sports, including soccer, baseball, basketball, and golf. These experiences sparked my passion for the sports world and inspired me to pursue a career in the industry. I’m a proud fan of the Ravens and Orioles, as well as the Knicks, Penguins, Manchester City, and several college teams.

I’m eager to immerse myself in this industry, gain a deeper understanding of golf and the broader sports landscape, and build meaningful relationships with STPGA and other organizations I encounter along the way. I look forward to the opportunities and growth this internship will bring!

Eugenio Lemus


Hello, my name is Eugenio, and I am from Miami, Florida. I have had the privilege of living in three different countries and completed my undergraduate studies in Quebec, Canada. Currently, I am pursuing an MBA at Lynn University. As a passionate sports enthusiast, I follow a wide range of sports, including football and Formula 1. From a young age, I have been eager to pursue a career in the sports industry, and I am thrilled to be part of this esteemed organization. I look forward to expanding my knowledge and deepening my passion for the game of golf.

Julianna Caba


Howdy! My name is Julianna “Jewls” Caba and I am from Corpus Christi, Texas. I am a senior sport management student at Texas A&M university set to graduate in May. I love everything sports related, including the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Astros. In my free time, I like to read, spend time with my family and friends, and enjoy nature. I look forward to growing my knowledge of the golf game and tournament operations at STPGA this spring! 

Digital Media Interns

Jori Aventurado


Hi, I'm Jori and I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, double-majoring in marketing and management at Iona University! During my summer 2023 internship with the Houston Astros my enthusiasm for sports marketing truly blossomed, and sparked my desire to make a meaningful impact in the world of golf with this internship!

I'm a proud Houstonian who grew up surrounded by sports from watching my  brothers play baseball to playing water polo player at the collegiate level in New York. While golf is a new passion for me, I'm eager to dive in, learn, and grow within the sport, all while ensuring the STPGA continues to provide invaluable opportunities for golfers!



Outside of work, I loves running, reading, cheering for the Astros, and exploring new cities. I'm excited to contribute to the growth of the STPGA golf programs and support the members along the way!


Delaney Oberg


My name is Delaney Oberg, I am from McAlister, NM. I graduated in 2023 with my Bachelor’s in Coaching and Communications from Eastern New Mexico University. I am still attending and am in my last semester of grad school where I will get my Masters in Sports Administration this May. In my time at ENMU I quickly began my career building by working in athletics as the operations manager for the Men’s basketball team from 2020-2024 and also as a sports information assistant from 2021-2024. In my free time I tend to cater to my own sports photography business I created in 2021 when I learned just how much I love capturing moments in sports with ENMU. I am blessed for the opportunity to cater to the growth of my knowledge in the digital media and I am excited to be with the STPGA this spring!
