Lisa Thornton

I believe in challenging myself and am always looking for the next way to test my limits. I want to learn who I can be. I want to take time to explore my soul and pursue my passions and I believe this can be achieved with the power of a little self discovery.

There is nothing worth doing that can be done without passion. My passion is to explore this beautiful world while pushing my body to extreemes. I want to share that passion with as many people as I can, and as a result, my passions drive my work.

I believe there is no such thing as an effort less than your best. I work hard and am often appointed to leadership roles. Being competitive, I welcome challenges, thrive under pressure and seek new experiences. I have professional experience in public relations and marketing for various sport companies, including the YMCA and University of South Florida.

I was born with wings instead of feet and with a compass in one hand. So far, I have visited one of the natural wonders of the world, the Grand Canyon, and stood on the four corners of the United States. To celebrate my 18th birthday, I bought myself a ticket to go skydiving. I white water rafted in the treacherouswaters of the Arizona River and zip lined down the mountainside in Cañon City, Colorado. In the past four years alone, I have swam competitively at the collegiate level, danced for 12 straight hours at Sunset Music Festival and ran the Savage Race in just under two hours. I’m just getting started!

As F. Scott Fitzgerald once said, "I want to go places and see people. I want my mind to grow. I want to live where things happen on a big scale."

I am interested in Public Relations, Marketing, Communications and Event Coordination careers related to sports, fitness and the active entertainment industry.
