What was the main reason that interested you into becoming a member of the IronPigs?
I have always been enamored in Minor League Baseball, and with the success the IronPigs have had as an organization and with all of the work they do in the community, I knew I wanted to work for the IronPigs.
What does your job entail?
As a Manager, Ticket Coordinator my role with the IronPigs is to service and retain our residential season ticket members. Additionally, prospecting and setting meetings with new business.
What have you enjoyed most about being a member of the IronPigs front office?
Working with everyone in the Front Office and being a part of a great organization like the IronPigs. Everyone puts in the work, but we don’t forget we get to work at a ballpark every day.
What’s your favorite part about Coca-Cola Park?
Seeing the faces of every fan who walks into the gates. Whether it’s an IronPigs game, a special event, or even High School games. It’s great to see everyone having a good time when they are at Coca-Cola Park
Do you have any goals you’re looking to accomplish in your first season?
Being here for Opening Day! I was able to be here for the last homestand of 2019, but to see the start of the season will be something special.
