Summary

Motivated and ambitious aspiring sports agent with a background in Sports Science and Management and a passion for representing players both professionally and ethically. Skilled in communication, social media engagement, and relationship-building, with an understanding of player contracts and negotiations. Being a low-handicap golfer has taught me discipline, focus, and how to perform under pressure. Alongside this, modules like Strategic Management and Economic Analysis have strengthened my ability to think critically and plan strategically within the context of the sports industry. I am eager to learn, grow, and make a meaningful impact in the football industry by supporting athletes on and off the pitch.
