One of the first lessons I learned in the Sport Management program at the University of Florida was:

"If you're going to make it in today's economy, you need to set yourself apart from the competition."

Within the last 4+ years, it's been my goal to do just that. I have accumulated experience in Marketing, Sales, Event Planning, Corporate Sponsorship, and more by leaving my comfort zone and working abroad.

Work experience in New Zealand, London, New York City, Germany, and Gainesville have taught me lessons about adapting my focus and adjusting quickly, selling a product to a foreign demographic, international marketing strategies, and most of all: not being afraid to fail.

I've taken financial and career risks by putting myself in these situations, and can announce with pride that I am more well-rounded and confident from these experiences.
