My Story

I work in sports media because I’m a true sports junkie who lives and breathes the game every single day. I’ve played soccer, basketball, and baseball my entire life, which gave me a deep understanding of strategy, teamwork, and the mentality behind competition. When I’m not playing, I’m watching breaking down matchups, following storylines, and staying locked in on everything happening across the NFL, NBA, MLB, MLS, and the Premier League. Sports are not just a hobby for me; they’re a passion that has shaped who I am. That’s why a career in sports media feels natural. I want to take the knowledge, excitement, and lifelong dedication I have for sports and turn it into content that informs, entertains, and connects with fans just like me.
