After graduating with an Advertising degree in 2008 from the University of North Texas, the game of soccer roped me back in when I was hired in the summer of 2008 to work for the Sting Soccer Organization. I was brought over to handle marketing and advertising for the company, and quickly took over all website design and structure as well. Wearing many hats, I handled not only the marketing and advertising duties for the Sting Soccer Organization, I also simultaneously managed the Sting Soccer Organization's specialty retailer, the Royal Nation store. Versed in software applications in the retail industry, I am familiar with e-commerce websites and inventory management systems. In 2010, I redirected my efforts as the Marketing and Advertising Director of VOLA combining my marketing and advertising background with my retail experience to help elevate the VOLA brand.
