About Emily Jarrell

As a Venture MBA student at the University of Wyoming, I am discovering my true potential while embarking on the journey of starting my own business. With an undergraduate degree in Business Administration focusing on Sport Management, I’ve gained valuable insights while fostering strong connections in the sports industry. My passion for sports has driven me to work in areas such as sports marketing, team management, analytics, ticket sales, sponsorships, and recruiting, all while playing basketball during college. My experience at Lakewood Country Club has further honed my organizational and teamwork skills. As the Graduate Assistant for the Cowboy Joe club, I pride myself on creating relationships with UW Alumni alike. Through personalized outreach and relationship-building, I work to enhance alumni involvement and secure vital resources that support the growth and success of UW athletics.I am detail-oriented, highly motivated, and always eager to learn. My relentless drive for growth enables me to continuously evolve and strive for excellence in every role I take on. I’m confident in my ability to make a meaningful contribution to any team.
