ABOUT
I am a St. Petersburg local and have always been a huge sports fan. My goal is to be a sports broadcaster and work in sports media. My studies at USF have opened me up to working in a newsroom in front or behind the camera, or working for a production company as I have found a passion for video editing. Because I grew up an avid sports fan, I can bring in-depth expertise and provide an advanced analysis to my audience. Sports broadcasting is all about what perspective you bring to the game and how well you can communicate that perspective to your audience. I bring a professional and detailed analysis to all sporting events and add my brand of passion. I communicate this view and passion to my audience through my detailed writing and enthusiastic commentary. This style is also what I bring to my news reporting, news writing, and video/ content creation. I started my news blog on this website to share my work and get feedback. In school, I have learned to shoot content, edit, and package together content for sports, news, and advertising projects.
