Hi everyone!
I’m Ella! Currently, I’m working with the Vegas Golden Knights under their Global Partnerships team as a Partnership Activations Intern. Coming off of their recent Stanley Cup victory, VGK is the epitome of championship caliber. Being able to start my career in sports with a prestige organization is something that I will never take for granted.
I recently graduated from the University of Oregon with majors in Political Science and Public Relations as well as minors in Sports Business and Business Administration. Alongside my studies, I also served as Co-President of the National Society of Leadership and Success and as a member of Tri Delta.
Being from Chicago, I was lucky to be around an amazing sports environment. Growing up, I would go to the United Center to watch the Blackhawks and the Bulls play, attend Cubs games at the historic Wrigley Field, and even traveled to college stadiums like Norte Dame and Michigan’s The Big House. When looking at where I wanted to attend school, one thing was a for sure: I wanted to attend a DI, power five school. After I visited Oregon, I knew I wanted to be a duck. I am so lucky that I get to experience and be part of a school where sports is a big part of the culture.
I have always aspired to have a career within the sports field and VGK gave me a chance to make a name for myself in the industry. It would be a dream to continue to work within an industry that I not only grew up loving, but also to be an inspiration for women who want to get involved in sports.
