What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my sales and marketing expertise in a dynamic sports environment, focusing on client engagement and innovative promotional strategies.

I am a dedicated sports management professional with a strong background in sales, marketing, and client relations. My experience as General Manager at Asheville City Soccer Club has allowed me to generate new business through strategic outreach programs, effectively increasing ticket sales and sponsorships. I take pride in leading and executing sponsorship contracts, ensuring client satisfaction from negotiation to fulfillment.

Throughout my career, I have successfully directed the creation of the club's first external ticketing platform, enabling efficient data collection and performance tracking. My role as Client Services Manager at Asheville Tourists further honed my skills in managing client accounts and executing promotional events, where I exceeded sales goals and maintained high retention rates. I thrive in collaborative environments and am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive engagement and enhance fan experiences.
