I have a sports background where I played
Basketball, Baseball, and others at some of the
higher levels of competition. I have a passion for
the development of players and sports overall. A
huge part of my dream has been wanting to
work alongside sports analysts, become a sports
analyst (in my own unique way), while some day
working with the NBA and ESPN. I have a strong
foundation of values built from team experiences
and prior Army experience that includes intergity,
service, respect, teamwork, etc. I have also
become pro
fi
cient in photography,
fi
lm, and
audio production after graduating from Full Sail
University.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Mentor
• I’m open to more Sports Media mentors to help with my development
on screen and off screen. While also helping to perfect my journalism
and unique style. I have mentors that I shadow that are CEO’s of
sports agencies, tech, business, and entertainment companies. Their
lifestyle and missions are usually more than just having a standard 9
to 5. The mentors I look up to usually have higher callings and are able
to create their days however, while still being ef
fi
cient with planning
and getting the missions completed successfully.

Sports media is always looking to increase
engagement on social media platforms to diverse
audiences, and capture the younger fans attention. Well what I do is create
online campaigns, and implement strategies that connects popular culture
and Sports media. Which gets growing fans who are or want to be more
active in the community to engage with the content effectively.
