everything you desire is already inside of you.
When I started my journey in the sports industry, mentorship was something I didn’t have. I had to navigate the challenges and uncertainties on my own, learning through trial and error. Over time, I realized how crucial mentorship is—especially for women breaking into or advancing within the industry. I didn’t want other women to face the same hurdles I did.
After landing roles at dream companies and observing the success of my peers, I knew it was time to give back. I started sharing the lessons I’ve learned, the strategies that worked, and the mindset that helped me overcome obstacles.
A few times each year, I open up exclusive slots to my mentorship program, offering women in sports (or those aspiring to be) the chance to invest in themselves and accelerate their growth. This program is about more than advice—it’s about empowering women to take actionable steps toward their dreams and create lasting impact.

Saria has opened up numerous opportunities for me during my time in her coaching class. She consistently instills confidence in her students and reminds us of our worth. While salary negotiation is rarely discussed in the world, she provides a clear blueprint and breaks it down seamlessly. Her consistently keeping me accountable throughout the coaching sessions prepared me for job hunting and ultimately helped me land the right job.

Saria was spectacular in all facets of the program. She helped me understand what it takes to enter the sports industry and the tips/tricks she's learned along her career journey in the industry. It felt like getting cheat codes for your career that are proven to work by Saria in her career itself. Her LinkedIn strategies were wonderfully helpful for me - I wasn't active on LinkedIn previously since I really had no clue how to effectively engage on the platform, but Saria and this program has given me so much confidence in networking both online and in-person. As a person, Saria is infectiously positive and supportive. Having a person be so genuinely invested and caring about you personally and professionally is such a blessing.

Saria has been a fantastic mentor for me these past couple months as I was on the hunt for my first full-time, salaried, job opportunity as a previous post-grad seasonal position I worked in was ending. She showed me how important the little things are to help you stand out among other applicants and how putting in the time and energy to go above and beyond will save you time in the long run. Saria was there to always pick me up and support me in times when I was doubting myself and she kept me focused on my long term goals, which ultimately gave me the confidence to negotiate a job offer for the first time. I have a newfound confidence in myself and my abilities to vouch for what I’m worth and I can’t wait to see how I continue to grow over time thanks to Saria’s guidance/advice.

Saria has added so much value to my career journey! She’s given me so much HR and negotiation insight over the years. Not long after meeting her, I received an offer from what was my dream company at the time. I wasn’t happy with the salary, and casually expressed that to her in conversation. She immediately empowered me to ask for more, which resulted in a really nice signing bonus. A few years later, I received an offer from another company. The salary wasn’t bad, but I remembered her telling me to always negotiate. I chatted with her about the best way to go about it, and that negotiation resulted in way more than what the job was listed as. I’m so grateful for her guidance and expertise in these areas!
