PR Pro Seeking Sports Partnership/Sponsorship Marketing or Sales Role

New York City, New York USA

About

Whether practicing, competing or spectating, sports have always served as a respite. More importantly, sports bring people together--something I love most. I've been fortunate to represent clients in the sports tech/business industries, supporting external and internal comms. I'm eager to take on a new role in partnership/sponsorship marketing.
