Since young, sports has always been a passion of mine which led me to pursue a degree in Sports Science and Management and eventually a career in the sports industry.
With nearly a decade of experience in the Sports and Entertainment field, I have honed my skills in various domains, including venue operations, event management, football administration and operations, and sports marketing. These diverse experiences have shaped my approach and provided me with a well-rounded perspective, making me thrive in cross-functional settings that value diverse viewpoints and energy.
I am particularly interested in the areas of Major Sporting Events, Stadiums and Arenas, Sports Marketing & Sponsorship, Sports Technology and Fan Engagement/Experience.
