Herceg-Novi, Montenegro (2021)

Achievements/Tasks

I was the Team Leader, travel director, and team manager for the USA Water Polo Men’s Olympic team from 2017 – 2023. This was a high-volume, demanding job that required attention to detail and flexibility.

Extensive International Team travel, including itineraries, logistics with local organizing committees, hotels, transportation & venues.

Liaison between USAWP and the US Olympic Committee for Olympic games and qualification tournaments.

Host international Team events, including the arrangement of hotels, meals, rental cars, flights, and venue set-up/organization.

Booking all team travel for international and domestic trips, including flights, hotels, meals, and ground transportation.

Yearly budget planning and adherence to Team events and training.

Communication with the Head Coach, athletes, coaching, and medical staff. Providing itineraries, calendaring, assistance with problem-solving, and schedule changes.

Assist with travel visas, travel documents, and passport renewals for travel. Working with Embassies for travel exceptions during Covid due to border closures.

I can list all my achievements and tasks over the years, but nothing prepared me more for this new path and being able to show you the world than my solo trips that I have taken over the last few years
