1. PERSONAL BRAND EXPLORATION
Kenny Hiller
Project & Portfolio I: Week 3
October 18, 2019

2. My name is Kenny Hiller and I am enrolled in the
Sports Marketing and Media program at Full Sail
University. My expected graduation date is
approximately September of 2021. I am from
Northern California. I was honored at Burney High
School for as an honorary Student Assistant Coach
because with my genetic disorder I could no longer
play sports. I was a three-time athlete in High School
and played Football, Basketball, and Baseball. My
Junior year I could no longer play so I was a Student
Assistant Coach for all three sports. I graduated in
2010 with an honor of being a Student Assistant
Coach and moving on to be an Assistant Coach after
High School. I began to attend Full Sail in early 2019.
Shortly after I got a job with the Chico Superkats,
which is an ABA Basketball Team, while I completed
my Sports Marketing and Media degree. After
graduation I hope to find a job with the Golden
State Warriors and move my way up to the Front
Office.
