About Samantha Rathgeber
I’m a recent graduate of the University of Florida with a B.S. in Sport Management with hands-on experience in marketing, live event production, and guest services within SEC Division I athletics. From executing high-energy in-game promotions for Florida Men’s Basketball to leading guest services teams during Florida Football matchups with fans, I thrive in fast-paced environments where strategy, creativity, and fan engagement intersect.Within UF\'s Athletic Association Marketing Department, I served as the Marketing Intern Project Team Lead for men\'s basketball, coordinating all aspects of in-venue activations (giveaways, halftime entertainment, special recognitions, and more). I’ve worked directly with spirit squads, sponsorship teams, and national partners like ESPN\'s College Gameday to ensure every detail of the fan experience is executed with precision and enthusiasm. I also aided in the execution of our Welcome Back event for our National Champion team!My background also includes event operations, guest services, graphic design, community outreach, and team leadership across multiple sports, including football, men\'s and women\'s basketball, gymnastics, baseball, and softball. Whether managing promotions, cueing entertainment, or resolving issues on game day, I bring a team-first attitude and a strong commitment to making every fan interaction a positive one.I’m always open to discussing new opportunities in collegiate, semi-professional or professional sports marketing, operations, and fan engagement. Let\'s connect!
