Area of Interest: Sports Marketing, Branding

What is your favorite memory from freshman year?
Meeting a new group of people from differing walks of life.
What is the most important thing that you learned about sport management and the sports industry?
That the industry is more vast and profound from an outsider's perspective.
What advice would you give to the freshmen based on your experiences?
 Utilize your summer between freshman and sophomore years to find an internship and gain valuable industry-related experience. Jump at opportunities to gain experience offered by the program. They will provide you with experience, the opportunity to network with industry professionals, and material for your resume.
If you could do freshman year all over again, what would you do different?
 I would have approached a professor to work on an independent research project. Freshman year afforded more time to take opportunities and jump through several open doors. As I progressed through the years, I've been fortunate to find ways to be involved in the industry. However, I've always wanted to work on a research project and really only had the time to do so freshman year.
