President & COO
I am the President & Chief Operations Officer of the three-time WNBA Champion Los Angeles Sparks.
My role covers basically everything on the business side of things. I deal with sponsorships, ticket sales, marketing, community relations, and more. I work with our general manager who scouts players and I make sure we have the money to pay them, etc.
Here's the first step for college students
Volunteer and intern for the part of the job that you think you would like the least. Getting experience in those areas will help you not only figure out what you really like, but will also allow you to tackle the areas you don't with a better perspective and appreciation.
"I failed. I'm a failure."
