Karel Calcote
I describe myself to be a leader, communicator, problem solver, and team player. Qualities developed from growing up as a point guard. My passion for sports and creative storytelling took me to the University of Oregon. After graduation, I moved to Portland, Oregon to work for the Portland Trail Blazers (Shout out to Rip City). Currently, I am in New York City as a member of the Communications department with the NBA.
