2. I have a background in sports and coaching as well
as a podcast producer and content creator. I pride
myself on helping brands develop a following from
personal storytelling and connections. I have dealt
with young athletes with amazing stories and
adversity in their live but no way of telling those
stories. I have given athletes and programs a voice
to express on social media. I know I can do that for
you and your brand or program.

You know how to grow a personal connection via
social media? Well, what I do is, help provide a storyline for
followers to follow and get invested into on a personal level. In fact, I have
helped a small college athletic department develop fans and followers on social
media that turned into higher game attendances.
