As a child, I quickly developed an interest for sports and live events. Today that passion has become a reality as I work full-time in professional sports with FC Cincinnati. I am a Sports Business and Event Management graduate from Northern Kentucky University with a focus and minor in Marketing.Working for the Cincinnati Reds for 4 years in various roles gave me the chance to feed on my passion and develop an interest in the marketing that goes into a professional sports organization. I was able to see first hand what the fans liked most at Great American Ballpark and what encouraged them to come back several times throughout the season. My internships with the Cincinnati Reds gave me the real time marketing and ticketing experience I needed to advance my knowledge of the sports environment. Continuing into my professional career, I want to take advantage of every opportunity that is presented to me. I was fortunate enough to gain some Event Management experience post-graduation as a Foundation Administrative Coordinator with Prolanthropy. Through this role, I was able to help plan and coordinate potential events for our clients' non-profit organizations with the intent to execute them successfully. My time spent with Prolanthropy and the skills and knowledge I gained from there have been vital for my success in my current role with FC Cincinnati. Aside from working full-time with FC Cincinnati, I love to travel and so far I've visited 3 international countries as well as several different places within the United States. I also love spending time with my dogs, Rosie and Frankie. They love going to the park and on walks, therefore I am encouraged to spend time outdoors and be more active. Just like them, I love meeting new people and am always looking to expand my professional network.
