What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow as a sports journalist, engage with audiences, and collaborate with creative teams.

I am a dedicated sports journalist with a strong background in college sports analysis and reporting. My journey began at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I earned a B.A. in Journalism, complemented by a minor in Spanish for the Profession of Business. This academic foundation has equipped me with the skills necessary to produce timely and engaging content across various platforms.

Currently, I serve as a College Sports Analyst at Sportskeeda, where I produce in-depth content on college sports, ensuring accuracy through thorough research and collaboration with an international team. My experience as an Atlanta Braves Reporter for Last Word on Sports has further honed my ability to deliver insightful analysis and breaking news, enhancing reader engagement and awareness of key developments in the world of baseball.

Throughout my career, I have embraced opportunities to enhance fan engagement through social media and content creation. From managing social media accounts for Tuffy Talk to contributing to a podcast that reached over 30,000 monthly views, I have consistently sought innovative ways to connect with sports fans. My hands-on experience at events like the NCAA Final Four has also allowed me to cultivate valuable connections within the sports industry, further fueling my passion for storytelling in sports.
