PARKS AND RECREATION, PROGRAM MANAGEMENT, MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS

Ever since I can remember I needed to move, exercise, participate and encourage others to join in. This passion fueled my
desire to pursue a degree in Parks, Recreation, and Tourism and contribute to meaningful work in parks and recreation
management. Adventurous classes such as Canyonlands backpacking, geography of skiing, mountain biking and outdoor program
management provided me with both the technical and soft skills necessary to be success in the office and outdoors. The most fulfilling
work environments are where I can combine my passion for the outdoors with business. I enjoy sharing my passion for everything
recreation related with others; whether it be engaging and educating them on a new product, demonstrating how to use equipment,
influencing them via a social media post or enrolling them in a program. I thrive in fast-paced, team-oriented environments where I can
provide an exceptional customer experience. Relocated to Charlotte, NC July 2019.
