2022 - Present
Head Student Manager
I was promoted to the position of Head Student Manager during my third season with the team. I lead and oversee a team of 25 Student Managers, providing instruction and guidance on procedures for over 20 drills to ensure efficient practice operations for both players and coaches. I also work closely with the team Video Coordinator by recording statistics and possessions in Sportscode during both practices and home games. This data is then used in reports analyzed by the coaching staff throughout the season.
NBA Summer League
2022, 2023, & 2024
Merchandise & Gear Lead Intern
During my second year as an intern at Summer League in 2023, I was awarded the Intern MVP out of over 120 interns due to excelling in my new position overseeing merchandise and staff gear. Under my leadership and management, a record-breaking total of $500,000 in sales over 10 days occurred. During the event, I organized 30+ unique products for staff wear and for purchase to upwards of 17,000 fans per day. I would communicate daily with both the merchandise booth and the Summer League executive staff to ensure all parties were updated on inventory counts and new deliveries. Additionally, I maintained the back-end Shopify system, setting up sale systems pre and post-event.

Salary Cap Student
I was 1 of 135 students selected for a week-long immersive basketball experience at the 2024 NBA Summer League. My area of specialization was in Salary Cap. Guest speakers and instructors included: Bobby Marks, Tommy Sheppard, David Falk, Josh Bartelstein & Mike Zarren. During the program, I was assigned to a team tasked with taking over the front office of the New Orleans Pelicans and making strategic roster moves during a "mock trade deadline" based on our assessment of the team. The results of our transactions were presented to a panel of judges with NBA front office work experience and all SBC students.
Full Court Analytics
2023 - 2024
Basketball Analyst
Each week, I conducted 3 statistical game breakdowns for high school basketball teams. I utilized the Full Court Analytics platform, where I analyzed each offensive and defensive possession during a game, tracking specific shot types and actions that lead to a shot attempt. Additionally, I prepared written analytical reports for teams that contain their offensive and defensive weaknesses. I reviewed statistical outputs from the season and searched for patterns in the data that could be translated into actionable recommendations for the coaches and their players.
