Hi there! I am a junior at the University of Oregon studying public relations with a minor in sports business. With a passion for sports, communications and public relations, I have developed a passion for building a centered around these. I grew up playing all sports imaginable and found my identity on the baseball diamond. Being a catcher allowed for me to be a vocal leader on and off the field. My experiences on the field have shaped me into the person I am today and I look forward to pursuing a career in the field that has given me so much.
Oregon Athletic Communications
As a communications intern for the Oregon Athletic Department, I work with statistics and social media along with writing post game recaps and organizing press conferences. In my time working for Oregon Athletics I have had the opportunity to work with PAC-12 Broadcasting, National Radio and Fox Sports.
With the Oregon Baseball team I run the team Twitter account on game days. Below I have provided examples of some of my favorite tweets I have posted.
Oregon Men’s Club Lacrosse
With the Oregon Men’s Club Lacrosse Team, I served as the team manager this past season. As a team manager I managed logistics, called stats during games, wrote post-game recaps, and analyzed film with players and coaches. I worked closely with the social media coordinator to help run the teams Instagram, Twitter, and Tik Tok accounts.
Here is a peak at the teams recent Instagram activity.
Adobe Creative Cloud
Since my Adobe Creative Cloud class in 10th grade, I have had a passion for creating designs on adobe apps, especially Photoshop. Although it is more of a personal passion, I have had the opportunity to bring my love for creative design to my job with Oregon Athletics.
Below I have provided a mix of examples of my work. Photoshop and Indesign work I have done with Oregon Baseball and some designs I have made for fun.
Sports Marketing Study Abroad
The summer between my sophomore and junior year of college I spent a month in London on a Sports Marketing Study Abroad Program. On the trip I met with executives from soccer, rugby, and cricket teams to learn about how each of the teams grows their brand. In addition, I studied and learned about the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and the operations of non-american sports leagues/teams.
Below I have provided a few pictures of some of the events and places we visited.
Savannah Banana’s Marketing Plan
On my summer study abroad we wrapped up our program with a marketing plan to help grow a sports team or league. My group and I decided to do our project on the Savannah Banana’s and I have provided our presentation below.
Caddy Splash Blog Post
While in my J452 course at the University of Oregon I had the opportunity to write two blog post about one of my best friends golf companies, Caddy Splash. My first post was an overview of the company and who they are. While my second post was an in-depth interview with Drew Wolk to learn more about what Caddy Splash really is and what it means to him.
