Career Goal: I would love to work at a sport marketing agency that would allow me the opportunity to support agents and athletes in signing them to lucrative contracts in their profession. I have been passionate about sports since a young age and with my experience in business, this career path has become one I have been working hard towards. The Sport Marketing and Management Program within the School of Public Health really helped me realize my goal through the classes I have taken in my three years at Indiana University.
Fun Fact: I have been a certified scuba diver since the age of 16 and have had the opportunity to dive at many spots around the world. I have been blessed with the opportunity to explore the deep blue sea and I would highly recommend it to everyone as something you must do once in your life. The sea is a whole new world and the intricacies of it are mesmerizing.
This is my third year now at Indiana University and I have gained an abundance of knowledge that will help me succeed with life after college. I look forward to making the most of my time remaining at IU and I am excited to continue my education at this great university.
