What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles where I can build athlete-centered programs, lead communications and storytelling, scale community impact, and foster inclusive partnerships.

I am an experienced nonprofit and sports media leader with eight years of leadership in program development, communications, and athlete-focused initiatives. I founded and led Sport Xposure, producing 60+ interviews and expanding the brand internationally.

At Frontline Millionaires University I drove mission creation, team building, and community programs that served over 3,000 youth and families while also leading communications and securing regional media coverage. I have developed scalable programming like APEX and managed large events and partnerships across collegiate and professional sport settings.

I bring strong organizational, DEI-focused, and storytelling skills, with hands-on experience in event operations (NFL Player Engagement), marketing and corporate partnerships, and student-athlete development. I seek roles where I can amplify athlete voices and build sustainable community programs.
