What role have sports played in your life?
Growing up, I played just about every sport possible, but focused mainly on soccer, basketball, baseball and softball. I was the only girl who played in the all-boys Little League, and when each player was handed a trophy at the end of the season, mine was the only one to feature a girl in shorts and a tank top. That’s when I decided I wanted to change the way women are valued in sports.
After college, I started working for my hometown baseball team, the Minnesota Twins, in their Baseball Communications Department. For over 10 years, I had various roles within that department and was able to combine my love of sports with my love of creativity, by managing their publications, photography and media services.
Sports have always been my way to explore the world, while also interacting and bonding with people. Being a part of a sports community unites people in an extraordinary way. It’s played such a huge role in my life thus far, and I hope it always will.
