Following graduation at Penn State, a role was created for Hamilton at the Xfinity Mobile Arena as an Event Coordinator in the Event Services department. During her seven-year tenure at the Center, she executed and produced over 400 events. These events would vary from hockey to concerts to lacrosse, with her main clients being the Philadelphia Flyers, Philadelphia Wings, and major concert promoters like Live Nation and AEG. She would eventually reach multiple major milestones during her time at the Arena including being responsible for the venue’s groundbreaking Code of Conduct—which would become inspiration for the National Hockey League’s Code of Conduct, earning an Executive Scholarship from the company which assisted her in receiving her Executive MBA degree from Temple University in 2024, being promoted multiple times to eventually become Director, Events, and becoming an award recipient of Temple University’s 2025 30 Under 30 cohort. Her work over six seasons with the Philadelphia Flyers would make her the youngest and first Black Woman to oversee Venue Management for an NHL Team. Following Hamilton’s decision to leave the Center in late 2024, she has chosen to pursue her long awaited goals of entrepreneurship and philanthropy work—she decided that it was time to break the fourth wall.

In the time following her departure, Hamilton founded two companies–Break The Fourth Wall and an event producer brand–For The Night Presents… In addition to her for profit ventures, she made her philanthropic ventures just as pertinent, as she sits on the Board of Directors for Black Girl Hockey Club, and the Friends Of Committee for Ed Snider Youth Hockey & Education.
