Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
I am a hard-working individual with a passion for Sports. I am college graduate from Temple University and always looking for opportunities within the Sports industry. I love working as a team member and driving a bigger success towards the overall goal. I have experience in gameday operations, sponsorship sales, and tournaments/sporting event management. I am currently using those experiences at Heyday Athletic trying to make my mark in the industry in my own unique way. As a lifelong student athlete and team captain in multiple sports, I understand what it takes to collaborate, motivate, and work towards a common mission statement. Recently I have finished up working at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. I was in an event operations supervisor role learning the all the aspects and features of a successful event. This experience was great working big event such as NBA playoff games, NHL games, and various concerts/specialty events. Also during my years at Temple I had Internships with Rugby Pennsylvania, Maestroe Sports & Entertainment, and United Sports Training Center. The experiences were great starting points to get me into the industry when I graduated. Being able to combine my passion of sport and my career goals to work within sport was eye opening. Now working with Heyday Athletic I am using the skills and lessons learned from those past jobs to give the ultimate sports experience for all Heyday Athletes and Leagues in Philadelphia and Suburbs.
