Sports possess the power to lift a nation off its feet, inspire, and bring people together. Behind every athlete is a story waiting to be told and that's where I've found my passion. The foundation of journalism has lasted the test of time but the way we create, report, and share is constantly changing and that's what fascinates me most. I pride myself on the ability to be a chameleon, adapting to the ever-changing journalism landscape, and create innovative, impactful and eye-popping content for our mobile-first generation. 

Work​
experience​
On-Air Talent/Reporter/Producer at MLB.com 

​2014 - present

 

My job description varies on the day and that's what I love most about my role at MLBAM. In 2018, I've taken on a role reporting and producing stories surrounding youth/amateur athletes, the best across the country, projected to be drafted early in 2019. In 2017, I co-hosted a daily, live, online baseball show and help create and produce original content for MLB.com and Sports on Earth. I continue to work hand-in-hand with a wide variety of athletes and reporters across sports to find innovative ways to share stories, create and present content. 

 

 

Human Media Accomplice at Veterans United

​2012 - 2015

 

Veterans United provided me the opportunity to directly impact the military community in a positive way through multimedia. I worked closely with Sarah Hill who encouraged me to color outside the lines and find my passion for storytelling. Through traditional media, Google+ Hangouts, and our Foundation, we shared stories of our country's service members.
