Summary
My career goal is to work in professional sports operations, ideally within polo, equestrian sports, or the broader horse industry, while staying open to opportunities in other professional sports. I’m especially interested in the behind-the-scenes side of sports, team operations, event and competition logistics, athlete support, travel coordination, partnerships, and overall organization. I want a career where I can be part of a fast-paced team, travel, work directly around athletes and major events, and help everything run smoothly without necessarily being the person in charge. Long-term, I hope to build a strong reputation and expertise in sports operations that could lead to opportunities with professional teams, major equestrian organizations, international competitions, or global sports brands.
