Marketing & Digital Media Producer

• Sep 2017 - Present

An ever-evolving role at this baseball and softball training academy has required me to wear multiple hats. My sports marketing expertise has helped grow the business to four locations while I manage the company's Wordpress website, email marketing campaigns, and social media accounts. Administrative and accounting skills have had me in charge of scheduling and billing winter training for 25 organizations in a 15 batting cage facility using Mindbody Software. As a project manager I also do most of the up front work to organize summer camps, clinics, and other training events. Most of my time however, is spent as a content creator. Whether it be producing showcasing videos for college recruits, marketing collateral, promotional videos, or mindset training curriculum, most of my day is spent in the Adobe Creative Suite.
