From a young age, the world of sports has been my arena—a place where I believe passion and strategy converge. As a former student-athlete and current sports management student with a concentration in Sports Marketing at New York University's Tisch Institute for Global Sport, I am driven by the thrill of elevating fan engagement and forging meaningful relationships that resonate both on and off the field through marketing strategies.My academic journey has been enriched with coursework in Sport Marketing, Consumer Behavior, and Digital Marketing in Sport, laying a solid foundation for my passion in this field. Additionally, my academic grounding has been complemented by hands-on internship experiences that have helped shape my understanding of marketing. During my recent internship with ESRevolution Gaming Network, I ventured into the dynamic realm of sponsor acquisition and activations. There, I had the chance to implement innovative strategies designed to amplify brand exposure and enhance the fan experience. I also conducted sponsor lead lists through marketing automation platforms and executed Google Ads campaigns with SEO optimization. These experiences have taught me the power of creative thinking and the impact of strategic marketing in the fast-paced sports and entertainment industry.Outside of my work experiences, I have embraced leadership roles such as the unanimously elected Chapter President of the Gamma Chapter of Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity at NYU for 2024. In this role, I oversee all organizational efforts, driving initiatives that emphasizes on community and leadership.In terms of skills, I specialize in Microsoft PowerPoint and Excel, possess strong communication and leadership abilities, and have experience in brand development, SaaS platforms, networking, Figma, Canva, and Google Analytics.Currently seeking sports marketing opportunities to further my career development, I am eager to collaborate with forward-thinking organizations where I can leverage my skills and knowledge to make a tangible impact. The game is always evolving and, therefore, so am I—always ready to bring my energy, creativity, and dedication to the next challenge.
