After completing his undergraduate degree in Sport Management from Brock University, Jonathan was eager to expand his knowledge of both business and sport by enrolling in the Masters of Business Administration program at Brock University.

Being a passionate sports fan and sports participant, working in sports has always been a goal for Jonathan.

Additionally, Jonathan interned at the Centre for Sport Capacity at Brock University, a research hub that worked with sport organizations from the community level to the national level, focused on knowledge mobilization. Specifically, putting research-based evidence to work, and finding practical solutions to the challenges facing sport leaders.

He made significant contributions coordinating social media campaigns, and designing promotional material using his creative and innovative ideas. He also took on a strong leadership role in the event management and planning for three of the Centre’s events during his fall term position.
