Alumni Connection on Linked for Prospective Company

I am a 20 y/o banking and finance major out of a non-target school with a 3.6 GPA. I have recently been applying to a number of internships around the country. One of the companies I applied for has a alumni from my school as a Senior Regional Director in my area and we connected on LinkedIn. My question is whats the best way to reach out to her to make the connection without sounding like I'm asking her to help me get a job? Appreciate any help.
