Thank you for visiting my site!
I’m a master’s graduate of the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University. I pride myself on being a well-rounded creative, being able to broadcast, shoot, edit, and nerd out on tech stuff whenever I get the chance.
I’ve wanted to be a sideline reporter since I started undergrad at Ball State University, and I’m so grateful that Sports Link took a chance on me, a kid with no resume, and continued to support me through graduation. I’m forever indebted. After a freelance opportunity to be a grip for Erin Andrews during my junior year, I had the vision. It was a total light bulb moment, and the way she worked was so incredibly inspiring. I made my ESPN+ debut shortly after that and fell in love.
ASU is where I learned structure and storytelling in other mediums. Hard reporting, writing enterprise stories on big issues, audio storytelling, social media, etc. meshed with the skills I learned in Sports Link to aid my proficiency as a creative.
I’m currently based in Cincinnati, following my time in Los Angeles at ASU’s new content creation studio. I passed on doing a news broadcast-focused capstone to come to LA because I knew I needed more development in social media. That was a tough decision to make, one that I wrestled with for a long time, but I find solace in the amount of growth I’ve seen in myself since moving here.
Looking forward, I desire to tell the stories of underserved athletes and individuals through the sideline/booth/studio, feature reporting, shooting, and social media. As a musician and fashion enthusiast, I desire to weave those cultures into the series’ I create and stories I tell. There are so many holes in sports that can be filled with culture, and our landscape is changing! Lets grow together.
