Introducing our new Media/Marketing Manager - Karen Zouein

SportsUnited is very pleased to announce Karen Zouein has joined our team as our Media/Marketing Manager on a 12 month Volunteer Internship.

Karen will be responsible for developing and managing promotional strategies, identifying potential sponsors and grant opportunities as well as assisting with building our social media presence.  

We asked Karen a few questions:

Why did you accept the SportsUnited volunteer internship?
I completed my placement hours with the Sporting Memories Program in 2023 and really enjoyed working with my supervisors on promoting the program as well as attending sessions. However, we were limited to 120 hours, and I felt like I could still learn more from a group of knowledgeable people in the Health Promotion field. 

What would you like to achieve from the role?
I would like to learn more about health promotion and program management as well as understand how to use social media and different platforms to promote a happier and healthier life and gain experience from working with professionals.

What impresses you about SportsUnited?
Firstly, the way the team works effectively and thoroughly to make sure they are delivering the best programs possible, and how they work as a team to make sure their audience are involved and that their sessions are positively affecting each individual present. Moreover, I was really impressed by how engaged groups are the sessions and how it brings them out of their bubble.  

We are really looking forward to working with Karen throughout 2024.
