What I'm looking for

I’m looking to write and analyze sports with strong editorial standards—owning SEO-focused news, previews, and features, turning research into clear storytelling, and growing with a team that values accuracy under deadlines.

I’m a dedicated sports writer and analyst covering baseball, college football, college basketball, golf, hockey, and professional tournaments for American and international outlets. I combine research with clear, engaging storytelling to make the game understandable—and the stakes feel real.

At Pro Football Network, I covered baseball, college football, and college basketball while publishing 250+ articles across multiple sports within four months. I wrote news, analysis, previews, rankings, and feature stories, consistently meeting tight editorial deadlines while staying aligned with SEO standards.

As a Golf Writer for Last Word On Sports, I cover professional golf tournaments, player performances, and industry developments. I analyze PGA Tour and LIV Golf trends and controversies, and I’ve written feature articles on top golfers including Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy.

I also work as a Freelance Content Writer on Upwork, producing SEO-optimized articles across multiple topics. I manage client deadlines and content calendars, conduct extensive research to support every piece, and focus on delivering reliable, high-volume content readers can trust.
