I graduated from UC Santa Barbara with a Bachelor's degree in Communication and a minor in Sports Management. After graduation, I was granted an internship with International Management Group in Los Angeles for three months. I worked as an Event Marketing Intern for their US Open of Surfing Event. It was after this internship that my infinity for sports, large events and working in a fast paced environment took off. I then pursued an internship in the Corporate Sales department with Angels Baseball LP and my year long internship turned into a full-time offer as a coordinator in the same department. My more recent goals led me to Spain where I taught English for two years in Madrid and Seville. I fell in love with a country, their language and their culture. I developed a passion for learning and traveling. I also concentrated on learning the language in order to incorporate myself both professionally and socially.
