Women of the HEAT: Kristen Figarola

What has been your experience as a woman working in professional sports?

It’s been empowering, mostly because I get to work alongside women who are breaking barriers and changing the future for women in sports. I work with some of the best boss ladies in the league and they have motivated me from the very moment I began my career. I hope I can one day encourage girls to pursue a career in sports as well.

You manage several social properties for the HEAT and AmericanAirlines Arena. Is it challenging to represent a male-dominated team in your role?
