How did your experience as a Golden Knight shape you?
“My experience as a Golden Knight definitely inspired me to work in the sports industry. My professor, Rosemary Sheridan, really had an impact on me throughout my time at Saint Rose, and I have carried her teachings into my career. The lessons I learned from my coaches, Laurie (Darling Gutheil) and Jason (Gutheil), I have also carried into my career in sports. The sports industry is incredibly challenging and Rosemary, Laurie, and Jason prepared me for the challenges I would face.”
