In January 2020, my dad surprised me with a pair of tickets to the San Francisco 49ers NFC Championship game against the Green Bay Packers. I had been watching Niners games with him since I was 10 years old, along with Giants and Warriors games.
As I stood in the stands and watched the players warm up before the conference showdown, there was a certain buzz to the game I just couldn’t get over. Watching the reporters scatter along the sidelines and seeing the Fox Sports pregame set lit up and ready for showtime — I decided at that moment that one day, I would be on that field too.
Since then, I’ve been blessed to pursue my dream with the help of a supportive family and a university that gives me countless opportunities to expand my skillset. I’ve served as a sideline reporter for Liberty’s ESPN+ broadcasts for the past two years, while also working as the sports editor for the Liberty Champion. Liberty has given me the chance to dive into nearly every sport possible — from football to figure skating and triathlon.
In 2022, I was hired to be a Digital Video Intern with NBC Sports, learning to cherish the importance of stories in every form, whether in writing, reporting or even in a simple highlight reel. I was fortunate enough to contribute to NBC as both an editor and writer, working remotely while during the school year and joining them in Stamford, Connecticut in the summertime.
These past four years have been a whirlwind, but in the best way possible. Now, as I move on to the next chapter, I hope to bring nothing but light to the sports media industry. Sports is so much more than just a game. It’s a wellspring of inspiration, hope and dedication. Getting the tell athletes’ stories is a privilege I will never take for granted.
