Athletic Event Coordinator

I also coordinate all of our athletic events at Northeast Community College, which includes hiring all workers, setup for games, managing all game-day positions, public address duties, music, scoreboard operations, being the game administrator of all home events and whatever other needs that may arise on a particular day.

Before and on game days I am in constant communication with our home teams, away teams, referees, trainers, workers, broadcast crew, community members and fans to ensure that we run the best home athletic events possible.

Below are pictures from a record-setting crowds at a Northeast baseball and volleyball games. Through various community initiatives, social media growth and relationship building with our fans we have been able to grow our support in the area and have made our events a staple in our community.

I have also placed a major emphasis on building relationships with our student-athletes to learn what they want at our athletic events. When I arrived at Northeast Community College, I heard some student-athletes complain that their peers weren't always there to support them. We have since placed a larger emphasis on student-athlete attendance at games. Gaining the trust of our student-athletes has been incredibly important and I have worked extremely hard to change our culture in a positive way on a daily basis.

Below is a video from when our women's soccer team became Region XI Champions on our home field! (Click the play button in the middle of the video and the volume button in the bottom right-hand corner of the video.)

We have hosted three conference championships and two district championships on our home turf during my time at Northeast!

Here is a video of our men's soccer team celebrating a conference title at our home stadium!

Northeast Athletics reestablished the Northeast Athletics Hall of Fame in 2023 and we have since been able to run two incredible events that have welcomed some of our most distinguished alumni back to campus. I am grateful to be a member of the Northeast Athletics Hall of Fame Committee.

I also coordinate all of our Sophomore Day celebrations, where we honor our sophomores in their final Northeast Athletic home event for all of the hard work that they have contributed to our program. Crafting a script and designing posters for our student-athletes has become a big production during my time at Northeast and Sophomore Day has become an event that is circled on everyone's calendar.

When our teams are fortunate enough to qualify for a national tournament, we organize send-off parties that allow the entire school to wish our student-athletes well before the begin their trip to hopefully become champions.

I have traveled on the road with our teams to 50+ events during my time at Northeast, which have included one Region XI Championship Game, two Plains District Championship Games and five appearances at NJCAA National Tournaments to both assist with whatever is needed and to create content. Our student-athletes and coaches put a lot of trust in me throughout the year and being there to celebrate their success is one of the most rewarding elements of my job.
