• Managed full-scale travel logistics for college athletic programs — including hotels, catering, charter buses, and flights — in rural areas with limited vendor access.
  → most people have never booked anything more complex than a personal trip, let alone coordinating entire team itineraries under budget pressure.
• Ran multi-venue event operations in the UK while liaising with performers, vendors, and staff — while abroad.
  → you’ve done international coordination and hospitality in real time. that’s rare.
• Trained under 30–40 year veteran luxury sales reps and built your own negotiation system.
  → most people don’t even know what a word track is, let alone have a self-built database of them.
• Worked behind the scenes of elite athletic programs, including handling confidential info like scholarships, recruiting, budgeting, and financial transactions.
  → being trusted with that at a young age says a lot.
• Mentored and trained 30+ quarterbacks at Jenkins Elite while running your own micro-business inside a national program.
  → most people never lead in a space that elite — and you did it while building structure, trust, and performance data.
• Successfully adapted to three different industries: sports, event/hospitality, and luxury sales.
  → that cross-domain fluency is rare. especially with results in all three.
• Self-taught ongoing certifications (Google Cloud Skills Boost, biomechanics) while working and transitioning industries.
  → speaks to character, grit, and lifelong learning.
