Growing up, I have always been an outgoing and energetic person, with a love for people. As I progressed in age and in schooling, I found a passion for communication and understanding how people best understand messages and how to cultivate the best experience for receiving specific messages. As a big sports enthusiast, I have loved being able to take a marketing standpoint on this idea and see the impact that communication has on sports and the amazing fans that surround them. I want to further design unique and personal experiences for each fan, no matter the amount of games they have attended before.I am an experienced Event Marker and Experience Designing Specialist with a love for storytelling within the sports and spectator industry. I strive to personalize experiences for fans and spectators in a way that generates a deeper connection and appreciation for the team and the brand as a whole while also stimulating memorable experiences. While fueling my own passion and love for sports, I strive to support and encourage the passion for sports from other fans and spectators alike.As a Tongan-American woman with a passion and history within the sports industry, I have a unique perspective for marketing to and understanding diverse populations. I am confident in my ability to create meaningful connections with fans and consumers between myself and them, but also between a brand and its consumers. I am passionate about bringing messages and ideas to life through detailed marketing campaigns, captivating graphic designs, and complete experience creation. I am currently completing my Bachelor's degree in Communications Studies from Brigham Young University, where I will graduate in April 2024 along with a minor in Business. I am participating in an internship with BYU Athletics in the Marketing and Fan Experience Department. There, I assist in writing the game day scripts for Men's Volleyball, Swim and Dive, and Softball along with cultivating themed games for these teams. I also engage the fanbase as a whole through advertising, social media, and events, such as the Women's Empowerment Event that was co-hosted by The Big 12 Conference, Sports Illustrated Swim, and Maybelline.Please visit my portfolio to see a sample of some of my current work:https://emilychristensen12.wixsite.com/emilychristensen
