What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining marketing, social media, and sports coaching where I can create content, run event promotion, and lead teams in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment that values measurable impact and hands-on responsibility.

I am a dual-degree student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign pursuing a B.S. in Recreational, Sports, and Tourism and a B.S. in Marketing with minors in Legal Studies and Psychology, expected May 2028. I blend hands-on behavioral therapy experience as a Registered Behavioral Technician with sports coaching and team leadership to support individual growth and measurable outcomes.

I have produced high-impact social content for Brown Ballers (platform of over 72.5K Instagram followers), led marketing that generated five-figure revenue and designed 50+ promotional assets, and coached athletes across ages 6–17 while competing on the UIUC men's lacrosse team. I bring strong skills in video editing (Capcut, iMovie, Canva), social media strategy, ABA data collection and analysis, event promotion, and a collaborative leadership style that seeks measurable growth.
