What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role in sports media or corporate communications where I can support internal and external messaging, collaborate with stakeholders, monitor media coverage, and help coordinate audience-engaging media and events.

I’m an M.A. candidate specializing in sports media and corporate communications, with a strong foundation in strategic communications, large-scale event coordination, and public-sector messaging. I’m actively building experience in professional sports communications by translating stakeholder needs into clear, audience-focused storytelling.

In my Corporate Communications Intern role with Tepper Sports & Entertainment, I support internal and external communications across football, soccer, and stadium operations. I draft and edit press releases, media advisories, fact sheets, talking points, and presentations, while monitoring media coverage and tracking communications initiatives and event activity. I also support LinkedIn content and help coordinate meetings and media events.

My experience also strengthens my ability to communicate with clarity and credibility under real timelines: I led planning and execution for major university events through the USC Alumni Association, supported constituent communications and public engagement as a Legislative Intern for U.S. Senator Tim Scott, and developed communications-focused leadership skills through structured project work. My academic and professional projects reflect my drive for high-impact messaging and measurable outcomes.
