Maria Allocco
Arena Production Specialist
Blount County, Tennessee USAAbout
I played sports my entire life, including my freshmen year of college. In my sophomore year of college, I decided to give up sports to focus on my career. Without that decision, I wouldn't have gotten the opportunity to be a part of Piedmont's broadcasting network, work with a production company in ATL Ga, or be a part of Georgia's hockey team.
