Summer Wheaton

As a former athlete and dancer, Summer has learned firsthand how sports can help a young girl discover her natural abilities and develop a strong sense of self. But having gone through a number of life-altering events, she also understands that individuals and society continue to affect and influence self-esteem throughout a young girl's progression into adulthood. It is with this understanding and her passion for inspiring young girls that Summer decided to bring the idea of Project Love Me to fruition.
Before entering the world of nonprofit management, Summer worked in the fields of Sports Marketing and Professional Services Marketing. She has a broad range of experience in event management, business development, social media, proposal management and media relations.
