Where are they now?
TPSM leaves its members with real-world experience they can use long after they graduate from Oak Ridge High School.
Kayla King
Kayla King was the former VP of Website and President of TPSM. The lessons she learned here are ones she has been able to use to get jobs.
"Since moving to Arizona, I have gained some incredible opportunities! I currently work with GCU in their communications department, covering all our socials, website, and graphics work for division one athletics. I also got hired by a sports marketing agency here, where I work on graphics, events, and social media for the Fiesta Bowl, Cactus League, WNBA, and the coolest one, the Super Bowl. I've gotten to make graphics for the Super Bowl and get help running their social media headquarters for February and the event itself. I also work with NASCAR on their marketing team for some significant events. I just recently worked their championship weekend, which was terrific. And for next season, I just got hired by the Arizona Diamondbacks to be a marketing intern on their marketing team! Every interview I do, I get to talk about TPSM and how it brought me into sports marketing and gave me a fantastic jump start into the field." --- Kayla King
Alex Li
Alexander Li was the former VP of Photography at TPSM. Through the experience he gained through the work he did at TPSM, he now works as a photographer for Pepperdine University Athletics.
“Hey guys, I’m Alexander, and I was a member of the photography team from my sophomore year till junior year, and served as VP in my senior year from 2022-23. I have since graduated Oak Ridge and attend Pepperdine University. Since coming here, I have made countless connections with potential employers, all seeking photography skills to help promote their businesses, divisions, and events. I decided to work for Pepperdine Athletics, since it was what I had experience with thanks to TPSM. I was not only immediately offered the job, but it’s also something I enjoy doing a ton. I cannot stress enough how big of a resumé builder TPSM is, and I encourage all current and future members to not only do your best, but to have fun with what you do! Make connections, develop your skills, and don’t be afraid to try something new! It will all go on to serve your future greatly.” --- Alexander Li
