About the Mentorship
I met Willie Banks in Brazil during the 2016 Summer Olympic Games and learned that he lives in the same town as I. While searching for a mentorship, I contacted Willie to see if he would have any suggestions as he is very involved in the San Diego sports community. It was through this meeting that I learned about the California State Games and the impressive executive director, Sandi Hill. I immediately knew I wanted to utilize her and the Games for my mentorship. After my initial meeting with Sandi and learning more about the organization I knew I wanted to be more involved. Little did I know, this six-hour a week shadowing would transform into a Marketing Manager position. After only a few short weeks of mentoring I transitioned to a full-time employee in June of 2017. Since that time, I have been learning and developing my skills in marketing and tournament coordination. To learn more about the experience and all that is involved with running a multi-sport Olympic style tournament, please reference the journal pages and projects.
This mentorship has directed my career path into the sports industry which has always been my ultimate goal.
