Get To Know Your Colleague
This week we are going to stick with Georgia State and highlight our superstar AE, Kaylee Goodell! Kaylee joined Alexis in Atlanta with the Goergia State team in July of 2019 and has been crushing it, especially groups, ever since.
Kaylee grew up in the Northeast in New Hampshire which led her to be a big time Patriots fan (note she has no relation to Roger Goodell). In NH, she grew up playing softball and excelled at field hockey, where she was at one point the top goalie in the state! After graduating high school she stayed in her home town as an LNA and coached the JV field hockey team. From there she moved south to South Carolina where she attended Coastal Carolina where she majored in Recreation and Sports Management while also playing goalie for their club lacrosse team. Kaylee started her sports career working as stadium operations intern for the Iowa Cubs. There she learned a little bit of everything from plumbing to launching hot dogs into stands! After working baseball she moved to hockey, working for the Iowa Wild (AHL) as the sales coordinator. She was then recruited by our very own, Trevor Johnson (AGM at LSU), to work as the sales intern for the New Orleans Baby Cakes. There she learned the basics of sales under the leadership of Trevor and Kyle, both with TSU at LSU now!
Kaylee and her boyfriend Matt are dog parents to their cute pup Diego, who they rescued from Hurricane Matthew. They enjoy spending their weekends hiking and visiting various National Parks around Georgia. Their goal is to visit all 62 parks in Georgia, which they knocked off 4 last year. Her favorite athlete is Chipper Jones and even went to Cooperstown in 2018 with her dad and brother for his Hall of Fame induction!
We are lucky to have Kaylee at Georgia State and excited to see what her bright future holds with TSU!
