I’ve spent my career building and growing digital audiences for athletes, musicians, sports startups, and media conglomerates. I’m passionate about opportunities to expand social media reach by combining a keen eye for quality content with an intimate knowledge of fan behavior. And I get most excited at the intersection of digital strategy, sports business, and growing a team.I’ve been named to Front Office Sports ‘Rising 25’ and have been honored by the Webby Awards for the ‘Best Podcast Live Recording’.In my past life, I was a submarine pitcher at Rice University and the #1 junior tennis player in the state of New Jersey.
