Hey Everyone! My name is Gracie Bowers and I am the Social Marketing Manager for Athletic Club Boise. I am originally from Southern California (don’t hate me), but I’m incredibly proud to now call Boise home and to be part of bringing professional soccer to this amazing community.
Soccer has been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up playing the sport and went on to compete at both the Division I and Division II collegiate levels. It is a sport I truly love and couldn’t imagine myself working in any other industry. That passion led me to pursue my master’s degree in Sports Management from San Diego State University, and I’ve had the incredible opportunity to work with many teams like the San Diego Wave (NWSL), an NBA G League team, and a Major Arena Soccer League team. Each experience has fueled my love for sports and prepared me for this exciting new chapter in Boise! I am excited to bring my passion for the game to Boise and share it with many fans like you!

Hi there! Locally rooted in Caldwell, ID, I have a lifelong passion for the game I’m excited to share with Athletic Club Boise! I graduated from Lewis-Clark State College, while having also spent time interning for Utah Tech Athletics Department in Game Operations and Corporate Partnerships. Prior to this, I had the opportunity to play soccer for North Idaho College where I also spent one season as the Assistant Coach. Coming home to be part of Athletic Club Boise is a dream brought to life for me. Soccer has inspired my life longer than I can remember, and I can’t wait to share it with Athletic Club Boise! When I’m not at work, I’m usually found still sitting sideline or supporting any local (or streamed) soccer event, or diving into my newest true crime documentary find.

During her time as a Duck, she was a Division I student-athlete on the women’s lacrosse team, interned with the Duck Athletic Fund as a fundraising intern, and served as an Athletic Ambassador. In that role, she acted as the primary liaison for high-profile guests, including Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti, during the Oregon vs. Ohio State College GameDay. Cassidy is excited to bring her passion for sports and her experience to this role and contribute to the success of Athletic Club Boise

Originally from Boise, I spent four years in Salt Lake City earning a B.S. in Marketing at the University of Utah before recently moving back. I grew up playing both basketball and soccer, eventually focusing on basketball, but have always stayed connected to the soccer world. I’m super excited and proud to be part of a team that’s building something special for my hometown! Outside of work, I love spending time with family, traveling, and experimenting in the kitchen trying new recipes. I’m a big fan of Boise’s walking trails, weekends in McCall, and local favorites like The Wylder. I also have a soft spot for reality TV—my ultimate guilty pleasure.
