OBJECTIVE

To achieve an occupation in sports law, managing and overseeing the

actions of my client athlete..
SUMMARY

After attending Berkeley where I held an internship learning and

protecting the rights of student athletes, I landed my first and second
jobs representing the student athletes of Petaluma schools, then
working for the NCAA protecting the rights of student athletes there.
I intend to achieve the final chapter of my career by getting an
occupation overseeing and managing the actions of a professional
MLS player. Below are my qualifications for accomplishing this
prestigious task.
EXPERIENCE

Sports agent internship, Berkeley

Berkeley, California 2007-2010

Here I learned the tricks of the trade, I learned under the NCAA
sports agents, who commonly informed their clients of the actions
they should take, and things of the like. I learned of different athlete
lawyers, some who fought for the right for women to be equally
represented as athletes.
Sport agent, Petaluma schools
Petaluma, California 2010-2012

Here I got to put my skills in action for the first time, and test my
knowledge of what I had learned in my internship. After being
successful here, I wanted to make more of an impact, for a bigger
area.
Sports Agent, NCAA
2012-2015

Here was were I could use my skills on a regular basis, I represented

athletes coming out of the college and helped athletes like Brek Shea
land good contracts with teams like FC Dallas. I dealt with top tier
teams and players, and helped the players make the most of their
situations, by speaking well to the press, playing up their stock, and
getting as much money as they could for their talent. By this point in
my career, one thing was clear, negotiating contracts was my main
job.
