About Emily Knight
I am a sports business professional with experience in sales, event operations, and customer engagement across both collegiate athletics and live event environments. I have developed strong communication and relationship-building skills through working in fast-paced, client-facing roles, with a focus on creating positive experiences and contributing to team success.In addition to my background in sports, I have gained valuable experience in hospitality and event settings, where I have supported event execution, marketing efforts, and day-to-day operations. As a former NCAA Division I student-athlete, I bring a strong work ethic, teamwork mindset, and ability to manage multiple responsibilities in high-pressure environments. I am interested in continuing to grow in roles related to sports, events, and business operations.
