About

Hello!

I’m Sam Hawes, I recently gradated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a B.A. in Communications and certificates in Digital Studies, Sports Communications, and Science Communications. I currently serve as a Marketing Intern for the Madison Mallards Baseball and Madison Night Mares Softball teams.

Passionate about storytelling in sports, I strive to create a more inclusive space for women in the industry. As a woman in a male-dominated field, my goal is to work in social media and digital content creation for a professional sports team, using my platform to amplify the powerful stories of athletes and fans that make sports so meaningful. With internship experience in both baseball and hockey, I’m eager to continue expanding my skills across different areas of the industry. I’m always looking for opportunities to grow and gain hands-on experience.

Creator

I am a creator. I craft engaging social media content, capturing the energy and passion in sports through video and photo.

Storyteller

I am a storyteller. I am dedicated to telling the stories of players and fans. I capture the moments and emotions that go beyond the game.

Game-Changer

I am a game-changer. I am passionate about creating a future where women not only belong in the sports industry, but thrive in it too.

Passions & Hobbies

I LOVE reading! During the pandemic I became obsessed with reading and since then I have read over 170 books!

I also LOVE going to concerts. Live music has always been a surreal and priceless experience for me. Some of my favorites include Zach Bryan and Houndmouth!

As a Midwestern, being outside in the sunshine is something that I never take for granted. Whether it is going on a long walk or playing pickleball, I thrive in the sunshine!

Lastly, sporting events! As someone who wants to work in the sports industry this might be a given but I truly love the atmosphere and community that sports create! Football and basketball are two of my favorites!
