I am a dedicated student journalist majoring in digital and print journalism with minors in sports studies and sociology.

I am also pursuing a sports journalism certificate from the John Curley Center for Sports Journalism (accepted Fall 2025).

My experience spans general news reporting, sports beat reporting, strategic communications, social media, photography, and page design.

I aim to combine my lifelong passion for sports with my proficiency in written and digital communication to deliver compelling content that engages audiences through multiple platforms.
