About

With a Master of Science in Sports Administration from Southeastern Oklahoma State University and a Bachelor of Science in Registered Nursing from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, I bring a diverse educational background to my professional endeavors. Currently, I serve as a Sponsorship Acquisition Specialist at The Soccer Rebellion, where I excel in identifying and cultivating key sponsorships. My experience includes roles such as Contracted Volunteer at Companis, where I supported nonprofit organizations with graphic design and marketing, and Community Tour Activation Specialist for the Seattle Mariners, managing over 40 community events. Additionally, I have experience as a Navigator for the Mariners, enhancing fan experiences, and as a Social Media Content Manager at CycleBar, where I developed engaging content and fostered community relationships. My multifaceted skill set and adaptability make me a valuable asset in various organizational roles.
