I am a senior here at Arcadia University studying Sports Management. I am from Florida originally but I really enjoy Philadelphia and Arcadia was a perfect college for me. While at Arcadia, I have been an intern for the National Wheelchair Basketball Organization (NWBA) and for the Philadelphia Phillies. For the NWBA, I created ticket designs, wrote articles, and helped organize a museum exhibit showing the importance of the NWBA and Paralympian wheelchair basketball athletes. For the Phillies, I am a ticket sales representative where I answer customer service calls, sell tickets, set up events, and more all at Citizens Bank Park. My goal after college is to have an entry level position in the MLB or NFL and to work my way up from there. I am so glad I attended Arcadia University, while being here I have made lifelong friends and great connections with many professors. Go Knights!
