ABOUT
As a former Division I lacrosse player, I bring the same dedication, discipline, and teamwork that fueled my athletic career into my work as a sports journalist. My time competing at a high level taught me how to thrive under pressure, quickly adapt to changing situations and maintain a relentless work ethic—all of which have proven invaluable in the fast-paced world of sports media. From my role as a sports production intern at WABC-TV New York with Disney to sideline reporting with the Sports Fan Base Network, I’ve applied these lessons to every opportunity.
​
During my internship at WABC-TV, I worked alongside producers and on-air talent to create compelling live sports segments, covering historic moments like Aaron Judge’s record-breaking home run and Serena Williams’ final U.S. Open match. As an on-air sideline reporter for the Sports Fan Base Network, I interviewed athletes and coaches, connecting with both players and viewers through my authentic enthusiasm and understanding of the game. These roles strengthened my skills in storytelling, research and live broadcasting, all while reinforcing my passion for the industry.
​
I’m now pursuing a career as a sideline reporter and sports anchor, driven by the chance to bring the stories of athletes to life and connect with fans through insightful and exciting coverage. My background as an athlete gives me a unique perspective in this field, allowing me to approach sports with an insider’s understanding of what it takes to compete at the highest level. Combined with my production expertise and on-air presence, I’m ready to make a lasting impact in the world of sports media.
