What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to enhance community engagement and donor relations while fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment.

With a strong background in sports management and community engagement, I am passionate about enhancing donor relations and ensuring data integrity for organizations dedicated to advancing community health. My experience as Secretary for the American Outlaws Columbus Chapter allowed me to develop and maintain relationships with potential members and donors, contributing to our chapter ranking #3 nationally for donations raised.

In my role as Administrative Director at Soccer Shots RDU, I oversaw operational procedures and managed partner relationships, ensuring smooth functionality across over 200 locations. My leadership experience extends to teaching English in Thailand, where I developed lesson plans and employed engaging teaching techniques to foster a positive learning environment for children.

Additionally, my time as Manager of Fan Development for the Carolina RailHawks FC honed my skills in client relations and grassroots marketing, while my recent roles in the brewing industry have further developed my operational and team management capabilities. I am committed to leveraging my diverse experiences to make a meaningful impact in my next role.
