Sports Marketing Manager · Musclepharm Corp.
Los Angeles , CAIn My Own Words
As a former U.S Olympic training athlete, and with over 8 years experience in the Sports industry, I bring many valuable characteristics and experience to a team.
I’ve excelled in many roles through out my career with some of the world’s most respected sport brands, professional teams and National organizations. Some of my roles include Retail & Account Management, International Event operations, Sports Marketing, and Athlete management.
I also work closely with many organizations that support youth development, and sport performance activities such as United Way Foundation, Special Olympics, and the United States Olympic Committee. In August 2016, I took part in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil as a Team USA representative and Field Hockey Results Manager.
I’m currently on a national tour to launch and promote my new sports industry networking event called “Sessions & Brews”.
