About me

With degrees in journalism and media communication and a collection of collegiate work experience, I am looking to transition into full-time employment in sports media. I believe my skills and background make me an excellent fit for the position of social media specialist with your organization.

Already trained in digital storytelling and marketing, I have been responsible for generating informative and entertaining pieces of media in previous jobs. In my role as sports editor of the Asbury Collegian, a weekly campus newspaper, I was tasked with covering/recapping/featuring the happenings of seventeen athletic teams. I also managed a team of several writers and made keen editorial decisions regarding writing style and content. As a writer for Kentucky Sports Radio, a popular blog covering the University of Kentucky athletic teams, I utilized research, social media, and my own creativity to generate short-form digital content. As an intern for NFL Films, I gained experience marketing a product while still telling informative and compelling stories.

During my academic career at Asbury University, I collected numerous achievements and awards. I produced a short documentary that was honored at Highbridge Film Festival and received an honorable mention at the Ohio Valley Regional Student Production Awards. I also created an original ten-minute radio drama that won first place in the Special Broadcast category at the College Broadcaster, Inc.'s national convention. I have also been selected to work as a production assistant with the Olympic Broadcast Service in the upcoming Tokyo Games.
