Experience
Partnership Manager, Pacific Northwest
Oct 2024 — Present
Positive Coaching Alliance is a non-profit that believes sports done right changes lives. Unfortunately, youth sports in America today are often not done right. Many kids do not have a coach that is trained, many schools and sports programs don’t promote a positive youth sports culture among their coaches, parents, administrators, and student athletes, and the playing field is not level - youth living in low-income communities are only half as likely to participate in sports.That is why PCA is making sports positive, equitable & accessible to all young people by training, recruiting, and supporting coaches with tools and resources to teach life skills, increasing access to youth sports by forging alliances with under-resourced communities, and partnering with school districts, youth sports organizations, and community-based organizations.In this role, I utilize my background and knowledge of sports to work towards a greater cause. I\'m part of a team of experienced staff responsible for prospecting, qualifying, developing, and closing partnership opportunities in the Pacific Northwest. I help communicate the value of PCA programs for youth sports organizations and schools to foster a positive, equitable, and accessible youth sports experience across the Pacific Northwest
