SKILLS
ABOUT REBECCA FEICKERT
Originally from a rural North Dakota town of about 100 people, I leveraged a homemade highlight film into a full basketball scholarship at the University of Kansas. There, I earned a BS and MS in Accounting with Highest Distinction as a first-generation college student.After graduation, I obtained my CPA license and gained six years of experience in New York and Switzerland working in public accounting and private equity.In 2014, I was shocked to realize that many of my college athlete peers were struggling emotionally and financially in life after sports. Determined to help athletes reach their potential, I left my finance career to gain experience with a sport-for-development NGO in Bolivia and then earned my MBA from Harvard Business School.I went on to co-found Trey Athletes, a nonprofit that empowers athletes at the intersection of racial equity, sports, and education.
