"The Women in Sports Law Symposium is an opportunity for law students to see the importance of diversity and women-leadership in male-dominated spaces like the sports industry. The goal of this event is to spotlight and learn from the women [and men] who join us as accomplished lawyers and professionals in sports.”
- Hannah Holmes, Tulane Law School '21

Meet the Ladies

Co-Director
I am a third-year law student, originally from Huntington, West Virginia. I came to New Orleans after a professional career in collegiate athletics.
I am a University of Alabama alum for both my undergraduate (Public Relations, 2014) and Masters (Sport Management, 2015) degrees. After graduation, I utilized personal and academic experiences to contribute to multiple Power 5 conferences and the NCAA as a director at a sports marketing agency in Birmingham, Alabama.
Concurrent with law school, I have mentored 2021 Olympic hopefuls through an athlete representative program, worked as a law clerk and athlete ombuds for the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee, interned in collegiate compliance at the SunBelt Conference, and currently serve as a law clerk for a civil rights and labor/employment practice. I will complete the Tulane Sports Law certificate in May 2023.

Additionally, I was involved with the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and served as the Stanford representative to the Pac-12 Student-Athlete Leadership Team. These experiences, along with working for the Women’s Sports Foundation, were catalysts for my desire to pursue sports law. I am particularly interested in expanding access and resources for playing and watching, especially for collegiate and Olympic sports.
This past summer I worked as law clerk for the Office of the Athlete Ombuds within the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee. At Tulane Law, I am pursuing the Certificate in Sports Law, serve as a law clerk for the Tulane University Legal Assistance Program, and this fall, am a compliance extern for the Sun Belt Conference.

I am pursuing a sports law certificate while at Tulane Law, and my long-term career goal is to be General Counsel for a professional team.

After graduation, I joined the athletic department at Georgetown University where I was Marketing Assistant before moving to the women's basketball staff as the Director of Video Operations in 2019. In this role, I had the opportunity to attend the Women Leaders in College Sports annual conferences, as well as other Big East events aimed at promoting women in sports. These experiences pushed me to pursue a career in sports law and to continue working towards greater opportunities for women in sports.
