Summary

Hey There! I know this is my “resume” but I figured a little more context around who I am, how I got here. With a background rooted in sports and a journey that took unexpected turns, I bring a unique perspective to the table. Growing up in Omaha, Nebraska (Go Big Red), sports played a significant role in shaping my character. As a Division 1 All-State basketball player, my dreams of playing in college were halted by an unfortunate ACL tear. However, life had other plans for me when my childhood friends skyrocketed to fame on the internet at the age of 14. From Instagram to Vine and now TikTok, our collective success led us on world tours, brand deals, and eventually settling in Hollywood, California. Throughout this whirlwind experience, I gained invaluable skills that go beyond what can be captured on a resume. Managing talent, tours, coordinating signings and meet-and-greet schedules, selling merchandise, and even acting as a bodyguard taught me the importance of adaptability, wearing multiple hats, and a “get things done” mentality. The intersection of sports and entertainment has provided me with a vast network connecting talent and brands. In addition to my experiences in the entertainment industry, I have also dabbled in sales and nursing, as you will see below. These diverse experiences have shaped me into a versatile professional ready to bring value to your business. Thank you for taking the time to read this summary, and I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to your organization's success.
