This is a dream come true. I can’t wait to get to Waco and get to work! 💚🐻💛
Goodnight from Foster Pavilion & that’s a wrap on the first regular season this building has seen.
Opening a brand new building (still under construction), a superstar jersey retirement, & hosting the best basketball conference in the country.
It’s been a crazy 2 months.
I worked my last game as a

today.
Simply put, this place absolutely and unequivocally changed my life immensely.
There is undoubtably something in these hills that is indescribably special.
Always a Tiger.

A career in college athletics—
Pros: get to move all over the country and experience new things all the time
Cons: have to pick up and move all over the country and adjust to new things all the time
Hey college sports fans, just a reminder that these are 18-22 year old young adults that are trying their hardest at athletics while also balancing being a college student.
Student-athletes always try their best and work the hardest they can.
Be kind.
The bike rack is qued.
The floor is prepped.
The chairs are placed.
We’ve worked our behinds off for this.
Baylor Family, soak it in…I know I will be. This is going to be the gold standard of basketball arenas in the country and it’s ours.
How lucky are we?!
TOMORROW!

As a gal who loves basketball & the sun, Foster Pavilion is a dream 😍
For a few minutes, in certain spots up high, the sun comes pouring in during golden hour & it’s magical.
We got a big one in here tonight! Let’s go

found a solution to get us out of San Luis Obispo today.
Went up to the gate agent and she asked how she could help me. I said “Yes, what kind of coffee would you like?” She looked at me like 🥹
Grace & kindness cost you nothing.
Not so hot take: hosting DII & DIII championships at the same arena as DI is absolutely incredible for the student-athlete experience since they get the same resources poured into their championship.
Casual reminder for all college athletic fans: you are rooting for and supporting a team of young adults whom the majority compete athletically as a vessel to receive an education. Everyone is trying their hardest.
Be kind. Spread love.

Clemson is the best thing to ever happen to me. The 20 months I spent in these hills challenged, propelled and prepared me.

Honored to be a part of the amazing Brittney Griner weekend in Waco.
So cool to show around the Baylor legend & champion our new digs. 💚
Really cool to be able to hang with players that you idolized growing up.

Things that make me happy: clearing a line of 300+ students in less than 10 minutes to the secure area after being screened and cued in a serpentine.
Efficient + effective ingress = safety

Iowa State lands a wild buzzer-beating three against Baylor in Waco. But it’s a shade too late and the Bears win it 70-68.
Insane finish to an insane game.
Another AMAZING win by the Bears.
One of my greatest joys is getting to support

So happy for this team, this staff, and everyone who touches this program.💚

’s 2008 run with Tennessee was part of the reason I fell in love with women’s basketball. Watching this replay against Stanford is exactly what this deprived sport fanatic needed.
Oh and I also miss Pat Summitt incredibly
Pure freaking JOY.

This was a huge goal of mine and I got it done while working for Clemson & Baylor, through a pandemic, a move and multiple national championships.

Today is my 27th birthday and I have felt showered with so much love and blessings. ❤️
I’m the happiest I’ve ever been and can’t wait for the good vibes to continue.
So so so darn grateful.

Just a little behind the scenes of your favorite event management crew 😂
The last month has been the definition of blood, sweat and tears to get Foster Pavilion ready for our basketball teams.
Grateful to work with guys who make the hard days fun!

RBG would wear her dissent collar whenever she dissent the opinion of the court & it is a symbol of how we must stand up and fight for what we believe in & know is right.
We stand on her shoulders.
Happy National Girls and Women in Sports Day! ✨
Shoutout to all the queens who show up, work their butts off, serve others, and always strive to be better.
Women in sports—may we see them, be them, and create more opportunities for those coming along side us.
Yesterday was a day that I’d hope I’d get to experience in my career. To do it with

Female student athletes competing at the highest level with communities of their PEERS support them.
Got emotional multiple times last night over the support for this team.
Invest in women. Support women in sports. Oh & hire women.
You know what’s really cool? Our guys are really good at basketball and in addition they’re also outstanding young men that are led by wonderful coaches.
Love this team.
I’m just the gal who makes sure everyone is safe and everything runs smoothly so our student-athletes can compete.
Congratulations to

WHEN YOU MAKE WOMENS SPORTS ACCESSIBLE, IT BRINGS FANS TO THE SPORT. 🗣️🗣️🗣️
You can’t grow without exposure!
Invest in women, not because it’s the right thing to do, but because it’s good business.
Court storming being one of the hottest topics this basketball season should put emphasis on the importance of investing in quality full time event management staff who plan and execute these safety situations.
So many people don’t know what we do until something goes wrong.
The absolute most impressive thing you will see today 🙌🏼
Female student-athletes competing at the highest level while being led & coached by females in a sport that was created to make more opportunities for females at the collegiate sport level 🥹

Life of an event manager yesterday:
17 hours of work, 2 basketball games, coordinating 4 teams and 2 official crews in the same building, 35:00 minute turn around between games, managing ingress and egress simultaneously
What makes it worth it? The unspeakable joy of our teams
I hate this so much. I get you got the internet talking but having a non-competing athlete, official or coach enter the court during live play is SO DANGEROUS.
I don’t care if that makes me the no fun police but save this stuff for timeouts and halftimes.
Duquesne University has confirmed that last night's "DoorDash Delivery" was indeed a prank.
"This was planned in advance, done for internet exposure. We determined that the individual was wearing a mic while someone filmed him."
