Â
Growing up, I’ve always found myself surrounded by sports, and I believe they have played a vital role in shaping who I am. I believe that sports can make more people happier. While there are many ways to expand the positive influence of sports —through education, outreach, or community programs—I’m particularly passionate about using data-driven strategies to improve the business side of sports.
I believe that by helping sports organizations become more effective and sustainable through data and research, we can ultimately extend the benefits of sports to even more people. My academic interests include sports analytics, sports economics, and consumer behavior, and this blog will serve as a space to document and share my personal projects and reflections on these topics.
Thanks for visiting—I hope you enjoy following along.
