What are you most looking forward to about Creative Con?

I am really excited to meet the students who are interested in college athletics. I look forward to sharing my experiences and hopefully will be able to answer questions about how I got here!

What made you want to pursue your career?

From an early age I saw how sports could bring together different types of people, from different backgrounds, of different ages, different beliefs and I always found that fascinating and uplifting in a way. I found graphic design & marketing in high school classes and saw an opportunity to combine those things in my college career. While I was in college, I had some phenomenal mentors who helped guide me in this career.

What is some advice you would give to students looking to get into the sports creative field?

Ask Questions. Form a genuine network. Continue learning. There are so many opportunities out there and so many people willing to help. This industry moves fast and you never want to get left behind.
