Mentoring Objectives & Scope

I am seeking to invest in others like others have invested in me. The sports industry can be difficult to navigate with only an external perspective so I hope to be able to share my insights and shed some light on everything the industry has to offer.

When and where do you hold meetings with your students?

I’ll be flexible and willing to meet virtually and/or in-person; if in-person, early mornings, lunchtime, and early evenings will be preferred.

Additional Information

I have worked in sports my entire career (9+ years)! Throughout my time in sports, I've worked very closely with a variety of departments including Community Affairs, Operations, Youth Programs, Partnership Activation, Business Analytics, Marketing, and Public Relations.
