From a very early age, sports have played an important role in my life and my self-identity. Being an athlete has shaped me into a committed and responsible individual who perseveres through all types of situations. I have gained the ability to work fluidly as both a member of a team and an individual. During my freshman year of high school, I enrolled in a sport marketing class which is where everything clicked for me. It was as if everything fell into place for me as I learned about the various aspects of sport marketing. A door opened for me where I could take my love and passion for sports and turn it into a future career. As a current sophomore and sport management major at the University of New Haven, I have found a strong interest in the social media strategies that are used in collegiate and professional organizations and I hope to one day work within a professional organization as a member of their social media team.
