About

Currently working as the Graduate Assistant in Marketing at Seton Hall University's Athletic Department, while pursuing my M.B.A. in Sports Management. Before coming to Seton Hall, I got my Bachelor's Degree from Saint Joseph's University. I was lucky enough to have worked in professional and collegiate sports during my time as an Undergraduate Student. I have worked as a Ticket Sales Representative with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2023, I was a Practice Player with the Women's Basketball Team at Saint Joseph's University during from 2022-2024. Then, during the past 2 Summers I have been able to work as a Merchandising Intern with the USGA for the U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club and Pinehurst Number 2. I have learned a lot both during my time in the classroom and through putting those lessons to action in my professional life.
