I am a seasoned manager with 15+ years of athletics administration and program management experience in the sports sector. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for team development, as well as for player recruitment and sponsor management, I have a verifiable history of contributing directly to organization growth and expansion throughout my career. As such, I have consistently exceeded budgetary and performance goals, and I am adept at achieving maximum operational impacts with minimal challenges. Professional focal points include athletics management, program coordination, coaching and mentoring, staff support, budget management, and relationship management. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication and prioritization skills, as well as process enhancement, best practices, partner relations, and promotions management to support optimal results.
Most recently, I was the General Manager and Goalie Coach for the Toronto Six. As part of the leadership group, I helped to develop and found a completely new women’s professional hockey franchise within the NWHL in one of the hottest hockey markets (Toronto), as well as finalize a full roster, select players for draft, and negotiate trade deals. I performed comprehensive due diligence in prospecting and acquiring the team’s home arena and operated as project manager for the construction of a custom dressing room. In addition, I liaised with senior leadership, sponsors, and suppliers to ensure the team’s administrative support structure was driving the organization forward with minimal expenditures.
