EDWARD SENTER
Ellenwood,GA
Summary
I am an experienced athletics administrator with over 20 years of leadership in secondary athletics, specializing in compliance oversight, eligibility monitoring, and program operations. As an Athletic Director, I have led coaches, managed athletic programs, and ensured alignment with policies and regulatory standards. My approach is detail-oriented and student-centered, and I excel in communication, organization, and problem-solving. Currently, I am pursuing a doctorate in Sports Management, with a focus on governance related to Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) and the Transfer Portal. I am seeking an opportunity to contribute to compliance, student-athlete development, and institutional effectiveness in higher education.
