Summary
I am a University of Oregon student with a lifelong connection to sports, developing strong skills in research and analysis, event coordination, communication, social media, outreach, fundraising, and teamwork. I am eager to build a career in the sports industry and plan to earn a JD to deepen my knowledge of contracts, compliance, and athlete advocacy. I bring professionalism, attention to detail, and a service mindset, and I am excited to grow into roles that blend sports, business, and law.
