SAN DIEGO - On Saturday at Snapdragon Stadium before the Wave FC game, Jourdan Ziff, co-founder of Her Sports San Diego moderated a panel discussion, Turning Passion into Profession at the San Diego Wave FC Match. The panel brought together Olympian and Cal Baptist Director of Softball Operations Sashel Palacios, UC San Diego Senior Associate Athletic Director Danielle Melman, One of Us Women’s Sports Bar Co-Founder Kalani Millsaps, and Manager of Fan Development & Marketing at San Diego Wave FC Monica Cortez, all women with careers in and around women's sports.
Kelia Bosinger who works for the Wave FC is also a part of Women in Sports and Events (WISE) San Diego, coordinated the event and made sure it ran smoothly.
The panel included four very different paths into women's sports, from Olympic competition to sports operations to college athletics administration to small business ownership to pro team marketing.
WISE San Diego board members and volunteers.
"We started Her Sports because local women's athletes and teams weren't getting the coverage they deserved," said Lisa Lamb, co-founder of Her Sports. "Having Jourdan moderate this panel was a chance to bring that mission off the page and into a room with the people living it."
