I ultimately knew I wanted to get into leadership and had the opportunity to go down to (Washington), D.C., as part of Monumental Sports, which is the (NBA’s Washington) Wizards, the (NHL’s Washington) Capitals and the (WNBA’s) Washington Mystics, and kind of started my leadership career down there."[1]
