Stacie Hunter has been hired as an assistant director of athletics media relations at the University of North Florida.
The 23-year-old comes to UNF after working last year in California -- including the last six months as an intern at Cal State Northridge, where her primary sport responsibilities included baseball and women's water polo. Prior to that, Hunter served as an intern at the Big West Conference office in Irvine, Calif., from October 2005 to January 2006.
At UNF, she will serve as the Ospreys' primary contact for men's and women's soccer and baseball.
"We are extremely excited about having Stacie join our team," UNF Director of Athletics Media Relations Tom Strother said. "Her experience and contagious energy will make her a valuable member of our office and a tremendous asset for the programs she will promote in her new role. She is an impressive young woman who has a bright future in this industry."
Hunter is a 2004 graduate of Belmont University with a bachelor's degree in media studies. While at Belmont, she worked two years as a student assistant in the Bruins' media relations office and served as the softball team's primary contact in spring 2004.
Following her graduation from Belmont, Hunter spent a year working in the music industry as a publicist and event coordinator before returning to her athletics roots at the Big West Conference.
She is a native of Arlington, Texas.
