WHO IS LIV FINLEY?
I am a Sport Administration graduate student at Georgia State University with experience in football recruiting, event operations, and athletic administration. Through positions with Georgia State Football, Georgia Southern Football, and major sporting events, I have developed a passion for the behind-the-scenes work that allows athletic programs to operate efficiently and deliver exceptional experiences for coaches, student-athletes, and fans.
I thrive in collaborative environments where I can build strong relationships, communicate effectively, and keep complex projects organized from start to finish. My approach combines enthusiasm and adaptability with careful planning, attention to detail, and a commitment to doing things the right way. Whether coordinating recruiting visits, supporting game-day operations, or solving logistical challenges, I take pride in being dependable, organized, and team-focused.
My long-term goal is to build a career in football operations, ultimately serving as a Director of Football Operations. I bring a positive attitude, strong organizational skills, and a calm, solutions-oriented mindset that helps teams perform at their best. I believe successful sport organizations are built through trust, communication, and operational excellence, and I am committed to contributing those qualities while continuing to learn, grow, and make a meaningful impact on every organization I serve.
