A Bit About Me
Working in sports media is my passion. I am motivated to be the best sportscaster, sportswriter, studio host, and overall sports media connoisseur that I can be. I have extensive experience in all aspects of sports broadcasting and journalism including play by play broadcasting, producing and directing, reporting, studio hosting, and news writing for multiple NCAA Division 1 universities and professional organizations which has afforded me opportunities to showcase my work on broadcasts aired on ESPN +, ACC Network, Bally Live, and MiLB.tv. I am always looking for new opportunities in the sports media industry and am motivated to continue to improve and hone my journalistic skills.
