Professional â€‹
       Info​​

In December 2016, I graduated summa cum laude from Bowling Green State University. I am currently studying to get my MBA at The University of Findlay, as I am working as a Media Relations and Sports Information Graduate Assistant in the athletic department. I am passionate about working in sports and events because of my love for people. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing a father or mother bring their family to an athletic event where they are going to make memories that last a lifetime.

​

Through my experience, I have found that individuals in the sports industry are the most passionate group of people I have seen in the work force. Whether it be the athletes or those working behind the scenes to make it all happen, their drive and commitment are contagious, and I cannot imagine a more rewarding profession.
