As a proud Founder of KSUOwlsSports.com, I am delighted that our site has become the official "go-to" for all things "Kennesaw State Owls," as part of the KSU Athletic Department. The Athletic Department, itself, is comprised of 16 NCAA Division I Sports and competes in the Atlantic Sun Conference, and many sports networks tend to cover only the most popular. When we cover sports, we cover them all. This is sure to have led to our success.As a Creative Marketing Director, Social Media Manager and Writer for the site, I continually support the athletic programs at KSU, the players and the sponsors, affiliated with Kennesaw State University. Because of our dedication, we have earned full credentials in attending and reporting on both home and away games. We are widely read and supported by the KSU family. Currently, we hold the #1 rating, as the most followed social media destination for fans of Kennesaw State with over 20K followers. This ultimately attracts new audiences to the website with an upwards of 40K pages views per article. The cycle is then fed, and we earn additional coverage across platform, including viral shares across social media. Through this process, our network and readership continue to grow.http://www.KSUOwlsFootball.comFacebook: Kennesaw State Football Twitter: @KSUOwlsFootball | @KSUOwlsSportsInstagratm: @ksuowlsfootball

As an Executive of Special Events, I took charge in the planning and coordination of all special events hosted within the Six Flags Over Georgia and Six Flags White Water theme parks. While I was directly responsible for all special events that took place at both theme parks, I was also in charge of the operations that powered those events. On a regular basis, you could find me contacting existing vendors and contractors for both Six Flags theme parks, while overseeing all efforts in the design and production of live theme park events. I secured sponsorships and strategic partners, adding to the value of each theme park and special event.Increasing attendance and sales from 2012 to 2013, I courted former and potential clients via dinner meetings and tours of the parks. I made sure to provide the ultimate VIP experience in helping them to fall in love with the park just as much as our avid park goers. I wanted them to believe in the park just as much as we did. Partnering wit clients in co-marketing mailers, online platforms and marketing efforts, I was able to save costs for both the park and the clients, themselves, while maximizing ROIs and marketing potential. Appealing to the needs of each attendee, I resigned 95% of eligible customers by working with them to improve upon previous year’s event.

As the Sports Media Manager and Assistant Social Media Manager for Encompass, I developed a high-level of demand for both sports and entertainment projects. Through this demand and growth in business endeavors, the department split, and I took full ownership of the sports department, where I have driven major success for the organization through all associated campaigns.In fact, I have successfully coordinated live TV broadcasts for:✪ Seven (7) NFL Super Bowls✪ Two (2) Summer Olympic Games✪ Two (2) Winter Olympic Games✪ Two (2) FIFA World Cups✪ BCS Games✪ College Bowl Games... and a few popular television shows.I also contributed to ongoing social media management, assisting in brand monitoring and engagement strategies for the company, where I drastically grew the follower base and interactions between three separate Twitter accounts and a Facebook fan page.In addition to my contributions for the Encompass brand, itself, I directly managed the media relations and public affairs of United States Army personnel, based in Kuwait, as well as those stationed in Fort MacPherson, Georgia, bringing support and enthusiasm for our troops at the center of the American hallmark. I continued to cultivate new partners amongst well-known networks, such as: ESPN, FOX Sports, NBC Sports, CBS Sports, ABC Sports, Big Ten Network, NFL Network, BBC, Sky Sports, MASN, NESN, Comcast Sports and all of the FOX Sports affiliates. I also worked with WWE, UFC, XFC and many college athletic departments, in additional to both major and minor league baseball teams around the country.

As a Sports & Entertainment Media Specialist with Crawford Communications/Encompass Digital Media/US 3rd Army DVIDS, I was tasked at bringing the faces of the US and Coalition Service members to their favorite hometown sports teams, honoring soldiers, serving our military from all over the world. We often used Satellite and Skype transmissions for live feed, while broadcasting prerecorded messages where live connections were unavailable. Not only did we honor our soldiers at live sporting events, we also produced segments for entertainment companies and supplied live feeds and B-roll of out troops for use in their own production. I successfully coordinated live shots for the last 7 NFL Super Bowls, 2 Summer Olympics and 2 Winter Olympic Games. I also coordinated feeds for past BCS and College Bowl Games and popular TV shows. Working as a trusted convention coordinator, I made sure our booth space was in a high traffic area and well-constructed, booking all electrical work and services. This led to more foot-traffic and engagement at each convention event. I oversaw the shipping and receiving of the actual booth at each location, making sure our construction contractor stayed on schedule. I was in charge of putting together all booth material and SWAG bags. This meant the design and procurement of all displays and materials. Most importantly, I made sure that there was a satellite link from Afghanistan into our booth for conventioneers to speak with military service members serving in the Afghan areas of operation.

Here, I grew relationships with media organizations in the North Eastern part of the US as well as FOX News for the Defense Video and Imagery Distribution System. I booked and coordinated interviews by satellite between military personnel, government officials and news reporters across territories and in war-stricken regions of the globe, including interviews for service members and government officials who were stationed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and the United States. I would also book the satellite time from those countries and work with the reporters and anchors to conduct these interviews via satellite.It was here that I placed and coordinated the first live interviews out of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

I went to school at night... worked out for free. Yeah, this a great job. I worked at Cosmos Fitness during College as a Customer Service Rep and Membership Specialist, signing up new members and addressing any concerns that they may have within the gym itself. Because we were a high traffic gym, my work was almost never done. But, I enjoyed the interaction with our patrons and loved helping them along the way. I engaged in regular preventative maintenance. This saved the company on repairs from outside companies and kept our guests happy, because their favorite machines were almost always available. Not to mention, safety was always at the forefront of our efforts. So, keeping our clients safe was a priority.
