Leaning on my operations and hospitality experience, I represented a variety of properties including professional golf tournaments, Olympic track and field events, and collegiate athletics. These relationships built a solid network for the agency to deliver exceptional events.The diverse clientele I represented gave me access to a much bigger realm of ideation and allowed opportunities that may not have been possible had I focused on a narrower client base. This breadth allowed us to deliver brand opportunities to fit a variety of client needs at the time.As I cultivated a thoughtful awareness about the industries and landscapes I was serving, I became known for being well connected and developing lasting relationships. I built and maintained relationships across industries with brands, properties, and other agencies.
