Hobbies:�
|
I love scrapbooking but I
never seem to have time for it. I enjoy any outdoor activities (hiking,
camping, swimming, etc) and in the past couple years I�ve taken up
cycling. I�ll be participating in my second MS 150 ride this September.
I recently decided to tackle a triathlon and will be competing in a
�Sprint Triathlon� this October. |
|
Favorite Pro Athletes: |
|
Work Experience: |
- I started working for the
Atlanta Braves as a member of the Ticket Event Team game day staff in
2006 (before I graduated from UGA).� Half-way through the season I
was offered a position as a Ticket Sales Trainee (the Trainee program
is the Braves� year long internship).� I was fortunate enough to
be invited back as a trainee for the following season (2007) and to
make the most of my experience with the Braves I decided to pursue the
Marketing and Fan Development Trainee position. Having the unique
opportunity to work in both the sales and marketing side of things gave
me the chance to see how important each department is to the other. As
my traineeship was coming to an end last year, I was able to hook up
with the Dream and the rest is history!
|
Favorite College Team |
UGA� of course!
You can always find me wearing my Red and Black on Saturdays in the
fall!
|
Favorite Book: |
I�m a fan of
murder/suspense/romance books� along the lines of James Patterson and
Harlan Coben.
|
Favorite Place to Watch Games: |
Between the Hedges at Sanford
Stadium
|
Favorite Movie:� |
Can�t say I have an absolute
favorite, but anything that makes me laugh is pretty high on my list.
|
Favorite Musical Artist: |
I really don�t have a
favorite. I listen to just about every kind of music, from Country to
Classical and Top 40 to Classic Rock. It really depends on my mood and
what I�m doing. |
