Sales and Marketing
I picked up a stick in 6th grade and enjoyed High School lacrosse in the HOTBED of Baltimore. I then moved on to Georgetown University and played field hockey and lacrosse. My next lacrosse experience was running the 2005 World Cup in Annapolis last summer. I have now found myself back in lacrosse selling advertising/sponsorship for Behind Lacrosse. I really believe this show will bring a different look to fans across the nation. My hope is that Behind Lacrosse will highlight role models in the sport for the youngsters watching and allow players, fans, coaches and refs to see how fast and far lacrosse has grown in a few short years. I continue to play every Sunday in the spring for Coburn's, a women's post-collegiate club team in Baltimore.
