Dan Armelli, '17 | Director of New Media, Washington Nationals
As the Washington Nationals marched their way toward a World Series victory in 2019, Kent State alumnus Dan Armelli was the face behind the team’s social media presence.
The Mentor, Ohio, native earned a degree in public relations from Kent State in 2017, and after honing his skills as an intern with the Cleveland Indians, he left in late 2018 for a new challenge as Manager of New Media with the Nationals.
“Ever since I knew I wanted to work in social media for a pro sports team, the dream was to win a championship with a group of players that were fun and recognized what my role was and were able to play to that,” Dan says. “That’s exactly (what happened) with this team. There are so many guys that are not only great players, but they’re fun to work with and make my job so much easier.”
