Beyond the Classroom

Atlanta Hawks

I shadowed and assisted the Community Impact Manager for the Atlanta Hawks during various community events, supporting outreach initiatives aimed at engaging local residents—particularly students. I contributed to events that introduced youth to the world of sports and provided opportunities to connect with industry professionals, fostering inspiration and awareness.

MLB All-Star Weekend

During MLB All-Star Weekend in Atlanta, I served as security personnel for the official MLB store over a four-day period, working 12–14 hour shifts. I supported theft prevention efforts, maintained patron safety, and contributed to overall security operations to ensure a smooth and secure experience for attendees.

Commencement

I graduated in May 2025 with a Bachelor of Science in Sport and Entertainment Management from the University of South Carolina. During my studies, I completed internships with FanBasis and EPI, gaining hands-on experience in fan engagement, digital strategy, and event operations. These opportunities, combined with a strong academic foundation, prepared me for a dynamic career in the sports and entertainment industry.
