As a long time, sports fan and athlete who has learned to love communication, I was excited to find the opportunity to join the Minnesota Twins organization in the Public Relations department. Growing up in a sports family and school, I have witnessed firsthand how powerful effective communication can strengthen a team’s connection with its fanbase. My passion for media and public relations, that goes along with my experience in both in-person and digital communication, would help me excel and follow the impact it continues to make both on and off the field.

In my past I have worked through classes and for a landscape company to develop a social media and merchandise page. I do my best work in fast-paced environments and pride myself on my ability to work with many different people across departments, ensuring succesful messaging that resonates with diverse audiences. My background in storytelling and content creation has taught me the importance of maintaining a brand’s voice this is something I would love to develop further alongside this organization.

I am especially drawn to the opportunity to work with an athletic organization because I understand the importance of creating and continuing a strong community of supporters. Whether it is through crafting press releases, engaging fans through social media, or coordinating public events, I am confident that my skills in digital media communication and teamwork will help develop and evolve the team’s message, enhance team involvement, and elevate the fan experience.

I am excited about the possibility of contributing to an organization I have loved for a long time. I am eager to discuss how my qualifications will align with your needs. Thank you for considering my application, I look forward to the work I can do for you.
