She had a wide variety of opportunities and career options, but choosing the SOJC was a no-brainer for public relations major Sandra Jimenez ‘25, who’s carving out her path in sports communication from Allen Hall ⚾️⚽️

Passionate about both sports and sports communication, she’s inspired by others in the industry like Solé Ortiz-Ruiz, whom she discovered on TikTok posting her basketball game coverage from UC Santa Barbara. “I also loved following up on her journey when she got an internship with Adidas in Portland. Seeing Solé as a Mexican-American woman taking on a major role in sports journalism has given me so much inspiration to follow in her footsteps,” Jimenez told us.

As a woman at the SOJC, Sandra finds empowerment in her creative leadership and unwavering support from professors. She values the inclusive environment, where her ideas are not only heard but celebrated. “So many of the professors within the SOJC have opened doors for me and have wanted to hear about my ideas,” she said. “I feel so welcomed and appreciated.”

Looking ahead, Jimenez dreams of working for a professional MLB or NBA team, with the LA Dodgers topping her list. To reach her goals she’s building connections at the SOJC and surrounding herself with a passionate community. She’s an active member of Warsaw Sports Business Club, Oregon Athletic Ambassadors, and Oregon Women in Sports Communications (OWSC). OWSC advocates for inclusivity and provides valuable opportunities for aspiring sports communicators. The club’s goal is to help “not only women but anyone that doesn’t have much experience in sports communication to get the experience they need for their future career goals.”

Thanks for speaking with us, Sandra! Want to learn more about OWSC? Check the student organization out here: @uo_wsc
