What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level sports communications role where I can contribute to live broadcasts, create social content, and grow within a collaborative, fan-focused team.

I am an aspiring sports communications professional graduating in May 2025 with a B.A. in Corporate Communications and minors in Communication Arts & Sciences and Business, plus a Certificate in Sports Administration. I have hands-on experience providing color commentary and analysis for livestreams, producing and managing live-streamed events, interviewing athletes and coaches, and creating social content for Instagram and TikTok.

I have completed internships with Penn State Schuylkill Athletics and the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, and I bring practical game-day operations, fan engagement, and multimedia production skills. I am driven to join a dynamic team that makes sports engaging for all stakeholders and to grow in sports communications, content creation, and live production roles.
