Summary

Although I am early in my career, I bring a strong foundation built through competitive athletics, leadership, and hands-on experience in sports operations and customer-facing environments. As a collegiate hockey captain and athletic department intern at East Texas Baptist University, I developed a high standard for leadership, accountability, and performance in team settings. My experience also includes game-day operations, fan engagement, retail, and country club environments, where I consistently contributed in fast-paced, detail-driven roles. I thrive in high-energy, team-oriented environments and am driven to continue building my career in sports operations and athletic programming, where execution and leadership matter.
