Summary
I am a motivated Sports Management and Marketing major at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota with a strong academic record and leadership experience as an NCAA varsity hockey player. I bring hands-on experience in teamwork, event coordination, youth instruction, and campus leadership through roles as a hockey camp instructor, resident assistant, and admissions ambassador. I am known for my strong work ethic, communication skills, and ability to balance demanding schedules in fast-paced, team-oriented environments. I am seeking opportunities to apply my sports management, marketing, and public relations background in a professional sports/athletics, or event management setting.
