About
With a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology and Visual Arts from Union College, I have cultivated a diverse career in the world of soccer and digital media. As the Founder & Principal of Etica Management, I oversee strategic planning and client relations. My role as a FIFA Player Agent involves representing professional soccer players and negotiating contracts. Previously, I documented major soccer events as a Photographer & Digital Media Producer for the U.S. Soccer Federation, including the 2022 FIFA World Cup. As a Creative Director & Digital Storyteller, I collaborated with renowned brands like Adidas and Coca-Cola to craft engaging digital content. My global journey as a Thomas J. Watson Fellow allowed me to explore soccer's cultural impact, enhancing my storytelling and foreign language skills. This experience also led to my accreditation as a FIFA photographer, covering the 2022 FIFA World Cup Final in Qatar.
