Summary

As a former student-athlete and Graduate Assistant for Marketing and Operations with Green Bay Athletics, I have developed a strong foundation in leadership, communication, teamwork, and organizational management that prepares me for a successful career in sports, marketing, and business operations. Balancing the demands of collegiate athletics, academics, and professional responsibilities strengthened my ability to manage multiple priorities, perform under pressure, and adapt in fast-paced environments. Through my experiences as a marketing intern and graduate assistant, I have gained hands-on experience in event operations, game-day marketing, sponsorship activation, social media promotion, graphic design, and fan engagement while collaborating with diverse teams and community partners. My background as a student-athlete also taught me discipline, resilience, accountability, and a team-first mindset that I carry into every professional opportunity. Combined with my pursuit of a Master of Science in Management with a sports emphasis, these experiences have prepared me to contribute effectively to future careers in athletics, sports marketing, event management, and organizational leadership.
