Kelly Ann Sharp

Currently, I am the Assistant Marketing Director/Community Outreach Director for athletics at the University of Idaho. During my time here I have assisted with the marketing efforts for all collegiate sports; maintain the social media efforts for Vandal Athletics – including posting the most “viral” photo to date; developed scripts and performed game day operations; supervised the internship program; implemented two events Idaho has never hosted – Football 101 and “Hoops for Hope”; and maintain a Vandal presence within the community.

I also head the marketing efforts, remotely, for my sister’s company in Orotino, Puntarenas, Costa Rica, where I create brand/store awareness in local and surrounding communities.

I recently graduated from Old Dominion University with a Master’s in Education with a specialization in Sport Management. Throughout my past internships and positions, I have gained leadership, communication, motivational and goal setting skills. I have been involved in the management side of the sports industry and have acquired administrative and day–of–game experience. I have planned and implemented including but not limited to: fan appreciation parties, community outreach programs, promotional games to generate a high level fan experience; script writing; on field promotions; and game production.
