I am truly excited for the opportunity return back to Princeton where I know I will get to work in a positive work environment with professionals and students who are passionate, committed, and respectful. I am also eager to take the experience I had working on a macro level with almost 60 Sport Clubs and work on a micro level with two Elite Sport Clubs.”
