What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my storytelling skills and passion for sports, ideally in a collaborative environment that values creativity and innovation.

I am a multifaceted sports analyst with a robust background in sports journalism, video production, podcasting, and multimedia content creation. My editorial skills are sharpened by hands-on experience in storytelling across various platforms. I have a proven ability to engage audiences with compelling written and visual content, both independently and in team settings.

Currently, I work as a Fantasy Football Analyst at Footballguys, where I create weekly written content focused on player analysis, trends, and projections. I also contribute to podcasts and video segments, developing visual aids and graphics for social media promotions. My passion for fantasy football and statistical analysis drives me to deliver creative, data-driven insights to sports fans.

In addition to my analytical work, I have experience as a copywriter and an English/Yearbook teacher, where I taught journalism and mentored students in multimedia storytelling. My diverse skill set allows me to adapt and thrive in various roles within the sports media landscape.
