Kristopher Smith

Revenue Generation Associate at Oregon State University with Playfly sports. Sports sales expertise and revenue generation strategy knowledge. Hitting consistent revenue and touchpoint goals is a top priority for me. I love building relationships with our Beaver fans and assisting people to get out to Beaver Athletics events!

I have gained valuable skills and experiences from working as a Student Marketeer at Red Bull, a Clubhouse Assistant and Promotions Crew at Hillsboro Hops, and a Sports Nutrition Assistant at Oregon State Athletics. I have demonstrated creativity, communication, and customer service skills by marketing Red Bull through multiple creative outlets and managing warehouse inventory and product distribution. I have also shown teamwork, organization, and problem-solving skills by managing clubhouse equipment and uniforms, hosting visiting teams, finding contestants for on-field activities for the Hillsboro Hops AND overseeing the production of smoothies for the OSU football team.

I love the outdoors, baseball, basketball, and golf, and I am always eager to learn and grow.
