Chapter 1: My first “job” was as the team batboy for my local college baseball team at age 9. This inspired a 10-year run as a collegiate athletics communications professional.

Chapter 2: I followed my passions for sport business and natural resource conservation into college and graduate school at Minnesota State and University of Northern Colorado, earning a master’s of Sport Administration at the latter.

Chapter 3: I worked my way up the collegiate athletics ladder with full-time positions at Montana State Billings & Michigan Tech. Then I returned to Minnesota State, where I served as Assistant Athletic Director for Communications beginning in fall of 2023.

Chapter 4: After three seasons, I stepped down to pursue my other passion, wildlife conservation. My intention is to work with a strong team, achieve a healthier work-life balance and make a true difference for an organization that aligns with my morals and values.
