💥ALUMNI BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT 💥- The LYA Closet Flagler College alumna Nikki Mattos ’14 turned her love of children’s clothing into a small business built around family, community and a whole lot of love. Based in Montague, New Jersey, Nikki runs The LYA Closet, offering adorable finds for little ones, from quality pre-loved clothing and new-with-tags pieces to curated preorder collections. The business began to take shape after Nikki became a stay-at-home mom of two. Wanting to build something of her own while remaining present for her children, she started by selling pieces from her own children’s closets. Since then, The LYA Closet has grown into a business offering ready-to-ship items and special finds for families. The name behind the business holds a special meaning. Growing up, Nikki’s father signed cards and notes to her and her brother with “LYA,” meaning “Love You Always.” When creating a brand that reflected the heart behind her business, the name felt like the perfect fit. Today, Nikki hopes to continue growing The LYA Closet into a trusted, welcoming place where families can find clothing they love for their little ones. Through her business, she is building more than a children’s clothing shop—she’s creating a community centered on family, connection, and love.

💥ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT 💥- Nicholas Cusano '18 For Nicholas Cusano ’18, a degree in Sport Management from Flagler College led to a career helping some of the world’s largest sporting events move safely and efficiently. After graduating in 2018, Nicholas built experience in stadium operations and crowd management, working events including the Super Bowl, NFL Draft, NBA All-Star Game, and MLS All-Star Game before joining FIFA’s Access Management operation. During the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 and FIFA World Cup 2026, Nicholas helped plan and manage crowd movement across tournaments representing approximately 9.2 million spectators. His work focused on crowd modeling, arrival patterns, pedestrian movement, queues, and operational planning to help ensure fans could safely enter and exit stadiums. One memorable project took place at Estadio Banorte in Mexico City, where Nicholas and his team worked to address an uneven distribution of spectators between two stadium entrances. By redesigning the arrival strategy to encourage a more balanced flow, the team helped reduce pressure on pedestrian routes and potential choke points. Another standout moment came during the FIFA World Cup in Miami, where Nicholas worked the Colombia-Portugal match. After the challenges surrounding the 2024 Copa América Final in Miami, seeing a sold-out stadium operate safely was especially meaningful. “It was really a pinch-me moment,” Nicholas said. “You are standing there looking at a sold-out stadium and realizing that you had a part in getting all of those people in safely.” Today, Nicholas is continuing that work through CrowdSafe Group, the company he founded to help venues and major events understand how people move and identify potential operational challenges before they happen. His journey from Flagler’s Sport Management program to the world’s biggest sporting stages is a testament to the many career paths available within the sports industry.
