espnW inspires a new generation of leaders

Melodie Robinson (R), with her mentor Julie Sobieski

About her action plan: “New Zealand doesn’t have any kind of network or association for women in sport and media like [the U.S. does] with WICT [Women In Cable Telecommunications] and WISE [Women In Sports and Events]. I believe that we need one of those, and that’s what I want to be the founder of.”

Sobieski on Robinson: “It was an honor and a privilege to be a part of this amazing program. Melodie is an exceptional woman, with a great spirit – and she will no doubt deliver on her action plan. The GSMP experience is immeasurable to the mentees, and a big “thank you” to all here at ESPN who embraced these wonderful women and played a part in their journey.”
