PHILADELPHIA, PA - Black Women in Sport Foundation (BWSF) is excited to announce the appointments of Kayla Stuckey, MS and Jasmyn Mackell, MBA, MSBM as Interim Executive Director and Interim Director of Operations and Marketing. Kayla previously served as a member of the executive board and Jasmyn as a Fall 2020 Intern.

Kayla C. Stuckey, M.S., is a graduate of Temple University's Fox School of Business and Management, where she earned her Bachelor's degree in Accounting. Upon graduation, she worked for a large corporate bank in its Financial Control and Firmwide Risk Reporting groups for two years.

While her Accounting degree made her a perfect candidate for her position at the financial institution, Cohen decided it was time to pursue her passion for sports. Cohen returned to Temple University and completed her Master’s studies at the School of Sport, Tourism, and Hospitality Management in May 2018. While pursuing her educational goals, she gained industry experience through internships with Temple Athletics, Overtime, and the Philadelphia Union. Cohen previously worked in the Finance Department at Philadelphia Flyers & Wells Fargo Center.

Stuckey has been on the board for the Black Women in Sport Foundation since Spring 2017. She hopes to continue to support BWSF in growing its impact throughout the nation by continuing to build upon its organizational structure and by bringing more awareness to its mission and vision.

Jasmyn is a recent graduate of the University of Central Florida where she obtained a Masters of Business Administration and Masters in Sports Business Management. She also holds a Bachelors of Business Administration from the Goizueta Business School at Emory University with a concentration in Strategy and Management Consulting.

Following her time at Emory, Jasmyn worked as a high school Business Education teacher at her alma mater, Annapolis High School. While there, she had the opportunity to support students in the Change Engineering Signature program which focused on creating holistic students, fostering an interest in social justice and entrepreneurship, and overall encouraging students to be the change that they wanted to see in the world. Having served as the Head Student Manager of the Women’s Basketball team, Senior Student Administrator of the Black Student Union, and Deputy Editor of Black Star Magazine during her time at Emory, Mackell brings a breadth of knowledge and experiences to the internship position that she hopes to utilize to create lasting change during her time at BWSF. While here, Mackell hopes to advance the digital presence of the Foundation while learning how to best serve as a resource to Black women in professional environments.
