COMMITTEE MEMBERS

Marely Flores (2008), President
I have a combined background of music performance, marketing and sports management mixed with working and living in several countries. My motivation of being in the committee is the possibility to bring together the alumni community and contribute to its development and growth. We are a very diverse group of people with a common passion for sports. I believe that each one of us can contribute with something unique. Feel free to share your ideas with us.

Nikki Symmons (2014), Vice President

Former International Hockey player, constantly challenging myself and my team to become better and stronger. With all the defeats and the wins that come from my previous career I have learned how to work hard and never stop pushing the boundaries. As a passionate sports person I thrive on using twelve years of experience as an elite athlete to the dynamic setting of the sports business world. A highly motivated leader in my sport, I will be bringing positive and creative skills to my role within the AISTS Alumni.  

Andrea Marcellini (2009), AISTS Liason
I chose a sport that is fun, hard, muddy and dusty: mountain biking. This sport also taught me the rewards of hard work and discipline and introduced me to great people and a lifelong passion for the outdoors. It also pointed me in the direction of my professional career, where I spent almost 15 years working in cycling. I’m now back to where I met international sports business, collaborating with the AISTS. I’m involved with the current MAS class helping them with Team Projects and event-related tasks. In this committee, I hope to be able to build upon the work done by previous members and add value to our individual careers by making the AISTS MAS a brand that lives on way after we’ve graduated.

Bruna Di Napoli (2010), Finance
A tennis player at heart, with an engineering mind, my multicultural upbringing has shaped me personally, since my early years. Being born in Brazil and having lived in Italy, The Netherlands, England, Switzerland and Thailand, along the way one of the few constants in my life for me was sports. For all of us sport is our passion and through sport, we are continuously building a community together, that precedes our academic year with the AISTS. As our alumni network continues to grow and expand in all four corners of the world, I’d like to reach out further, reconnect with continental representatives and establish a series of reoccurring events that will become the tradition of the AISTS Alumni yearly calendar – because traditions are what provide us with a sense of belonging.
