Forward-thinker. Energy-giver. Culture-builder. People-listener. Speaker-upper. Life-lover. During my freshman year of high school, a sudden and unexpected brain surgery forced me to stop playing some of the sports that became a part of my identity. During my recovery process, I searched for ways to stay involved with the games that meant more than anything to me. I fell in love with broadcasting, which has led me to Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. I believe that where there is a ball or a field, there are relationships to be cultivated and a great story to be told. As an aspiring member of both the sports media and sports business worlds, it is my dream to tell these stories and contribute to projects and decisions that will help advance those around me.
