STELLA IJEOMA UDEKWE - MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS COORDINATOR 

If you’ve spotted a fresh burst of creativity on our social media platforms, videos, or event promotions lately, you might already know Stella!

As our new Marketing and Communications Coordinator, Stella is all about telling the Sportsplex story in a way that connects with our community - whether it’s through eye-catching graphics, engaging social media posts, or capturing those in-the-moment photos that make you smile.

Stella’s career path has been anything but ordinary. She started out in publishing, where she learned the power of a well-told story, before moving into the fast-paced world of finance and investments. Even surrounded by stock tickers and brokerage reports, her love for marketing never dimmed, she found creative ways to blend strategy with storytelling, and she’s brought that same energy to the Sportsplex.

A passionate believer in health and wellness, Stella sees Zatzman Sportsplex not just as a recreation center, but as a place where people come to learn, grow, and connect. She’s a committed volunteer, always looking for ways to get involved and make a difference. Ambidextrous and endlessly curious, she loves graphic design, photography, directing skits, editing videos, and picking up new skills. And if she’s got her headphones on, she can happily walk for hours!

Her favorite part of the job so far? Meeting people from all walks of life and hearing their stories. “Everyone matters here - it’s like a community inside a community,” she says. So if you see Stella with a camera, scripts, books in hand or updating our screens, make sure to say hello - and maybe share a story or two of your own!
