I worked with the Athletic Facilities and Events department during my four years at James Madison University. In my time with JMU Athletics, I have gained valuable experiences within the realm of event and game day operations in facility management. As a part of this position, I have coordinated the set-up and tear down of pregame tailgate hospitality areas and in-venue operations for over 20 home football games that have included five of the top six highest attended games at James Madison's Bridgeforth Stadium. Additionally, I have worked game day operations at JMU's other athletic venues for men's and women's basketball, men's and women's soccer, volleyball, field hockey, lacrosse, softball, baseball, cross country, and track and field. These events include various Colonial Athletic Association championship tournaments as well as NCAA postseason games.
