COMMUNITY COMMITMENT CONNECTION

Hi, I'm Emmy

I'm passionate about building relationships and creating meaningful community impact through sports.

Through my work with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Premier Athlete Agency, and collegiate and professional sports organizations, I've helped execute community programs, athlete engagement initiatives, nonprofit partnerships, and fan experiences that connect organizations with the communities they serve.

Currently pursuing my M.S. in Sports Leadership at the University of Wisconsin–Madison while continuing to grow my career in professional sports.

About Me.

I'm a community relations and sports industry professional passionate about creating experiences that strengthen organizations and the communities they serve.

My work has taken me from developing athlete partnerships and sponsorship activations to coordinating youth programs, nonprofit collaborations, charitable initiatives, and game-day community events. Through roles with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Premier Athlete Agency, and the Wausau Woodchucks organization, I've learned how meaningful relationships, thoughtful planning, and strong execution create lasting impact both on and off the field.

I enjoy bringing people together through sports, whether coordinating a community event, supporting athlete appearances, managing partnerships, or helping organizations expand their reach through community programming.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Consumer Behavior & Marketplace Studies from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, along with certificates in Business, Sports Communication, and Entrepreneurship. I am currently pursuing my Master of Science in Sports Leadership through UW–Madison, continuing to build the leadership and strategic skills needed to serve professional sports organizations.

I believe sports have the ability to inspire, unite, and strengthen communities. My goal is to help organizations build authentic relationships, create memorable experiences, and make a lasting impact beyond the game.
