Hello! My name is Artem Zhurakovskii. I am pursuing a career in sports management & marketing. My education includes but not limited to the Bachelor’s degree in Public Relations. I took courses on Coursera (Sports Marketing) and LinkedIn (Creative Cloud software training) while combining studies with work.
My work experience matches my field of study and my interests. While getting my Bachelor’s degree, I had different work roles but I focused on sports. The list of companies includes: Kamloops Sports Council, TRU Wolfpack, Kamloops Basketball Officials Association, TRU World, Operation Red Nose, KidSport Kamloops.
My biggest passion is sports, especially basketball. I was a captain of my city’s U-18 team, and I still try to play as often as I can.

Brand management, marketing and communication strategies are universal. The project that helped me get all the mentioned skills was the SWISH 3×3 Basketball Tournament.
