Summary
I’m a Marketing student at the Darla Moore School of Business with a strong interest in the sports industry and the business decisions that shape fan experiences, branding, and team identity. I enjoy learning how organizations connect with their audiences and how strategy, creativity, and operations all come together behind the scenes. My goal is to grow into a leadership role in sports marketing while also building entrepreneurial projects that bring sports and culture together in new ways.
My experience in retail, athletics logistics, and community service has helped me understand how to work with people, manage responsibilities, and support fast‑moving environments. These roles taught me the value of clear communication, teamwork, and staying organized, skills I want to continue developing as I move further into the sports business world.
