Summary
I am a driven sports management professional with hands-on experience in event operations, game day presentation, and fan engagement. Throughout my time as an intern with the Corpus Christi Sports Commission and various volunteer roles—including shadowing the San Antonio Spurs’ Game Day Presentation Department and assisting with events for organizations like VFit Productions, TAMUCC, the Southland Conference, and the NCAA Men’s Final Four—I have developed a well-rounded skill set in managing event logistics, coordinating on-site activities, and enhancing fan experiences. From working with sponsors to overseeing technical setups and engaging with the community, I have gained valuable experience in creating seamless, high-energy environments that leave a lasting impact on fans and participants. I am focused on pursuing a career within the sports industry, where I can leverage my technical skills, creativity, and passion for sports to contribute to various aspects of operations, fan engagement, and event management. Whether in game day presentation, operations, or behind-the-scenes logistics, I am eager to be part of a team that creates exceptional experiences for fans, athletes, and all stakeholders involved in bringing sports events to life.
