MEDIA RELATIONS FOR FC JUÁREZ
As a team under the ownership of MountainStar Sports Group (MSSG), El Paso Locomotive FC was in constant collaboration with FC Juárez, our Liga MX sister club, who were just across the border in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. Thanks to our close proximity to one another, both clubs worked together to share information and provide experience to better promote binational unity and culture through soccer.
​
Liga MX was my first exposure to soccer as a child and I was an avid fan growing up. When the opportunity arose to work with the Juárez communications and marketing team to help build stronger connections with fans across the border in El Paso and the Southwest, I did not hesitate to jump on. It's been an absolute pleasure to get to work with the Bravos leadership and staff, exchanging knowledge and information to help each other reach our respective goals.
​
Most of my responsibility with the Bravos is to provide their team with bridges to El Paso media, thus establishing greater opportunities for both parties to work together and increase coverage of FC Juárez.
​
