FinalistBio
I am an upcoming graduate from St. Mary’s University, where I have majored in Communication Studies and been a STUNT athlete for four years. Through my academic experience and athletic career, combined with a strong passion for sports, leadership, and team development, I’ve developed a deep interest in the business and operational side of sports, which I plan to pursue further through a Master’s in Sports Management.
Over the past two years, I’ve gained hands-on experience in event administration, where I’ve supported the planning and execution of organized events, managed logistics, and helped create smooth, engaging experiences. These experiences have strengthened my ability to stay organized, adapt quickly, and work effectively in unique environments. Additionally, my coaching experience has allowed me to mentor athletes, build team culture, and develop leadership skills both on and off the field. As a student-athlete, I bring a strong work ethic, discipline, and a team-first mindset to everything I do.
My core strengths include communication, organization, and leadership. I’m especially passionate about equality, inclusion, and integrity in the sports industry.
As I prepare to pursue my Master’s in Sports Management, I am seeking opportunities in sports administration, marketing, and athletic program management where I can continue to grow and make an impact.
