Britney Hitch has always had a strong passion for all things music and entertainment. From a young age, she knew she had to pursue these passions in her career.
“I always wanted to do something with entertainment,” Hitch said.
Hitch simply followed her dreams and landed a job right in the middle of Music City. Working as the contract and booking coordinator for Bridgestone Arena, Hitch sees it all. From the Nashville Predators’ games to concerts, Hitch gets to plan these events.
“There’s always something different going on, and that is my favorite part,” Hitch said.
Before working in this position, Hitch worked directly with the Nashville Predators as a guest experience coordinator.
“That was also such a fun position, but this new position allows me to see something new,” Hitch said. “My duties include handling contracts, scheduling the calendar for booking events and other arena-based things such as marketing and social media.”
