  The Wayne Embry Fellowship was created by the Toronto Raptors to place more Canadians in front office positions within the NBA. During the 2018-19 Championship season, out of 200+ candidates, I was selected as the Wayne Embry Fellow and granted access along with work experience in every department of the team's operations. Throughout the season I received supervision and mentorship from the leads of every department, along with practical experience which contributed to the success of the team. The opportunity provided an in-depth generalist perspective on intricacies of the basketball operations of an NBA franchise. In addition to working for the Toronto Raptors, the fellowship granted the opportunity to work with Giants of Africa during the Senegal camp, with Basketball Without Borders Global Camp during NBA All-Star Weekend as the off-court logistics coordinator for the campers, and with Summer League where I gained comprehensive experience of game operations and was nominated as the event's Ms. Congeniality.
