How far I've come...

While studying Communication Media at NC State, I took every opportunity to gain hands-on experience in sports media. I interned with the Athletics Department, appeared on-camera with Wolfpack Sports TV, spent summers covering MiLB and took on field reporting and hosting roles with local sports teams. My passion and drive led to a standout internship with Spectrum News, where I was honored to be selected as the first-ever Jim Connors Memorial Intern—essentially working as a professional sports reporter across the state before I even graduated. 

After graduating with a B.A. in Communication Media Studies, I began my career as a Digital Media Reporter for 247Sports.com while also beginning my journey with the NHL. I started my role with the Carolina Hurricanes as an In-Game Host where I capitalized on opportunities and expanded the role to digital media and the creation of a live pregame and intermission hockey centric show that aired throughout the arena for over 20,000 fans.

That momentum led to on-air opportunities with FOX Sports South and Bally Sports, where I covered ACC Football and moved up to become the full-time Host and Rinkside Reporter for Hurricanes broadcasts—covering regular season and Stanley Cup Playoff games. Throughout my time in North Carolina, I also contributed to ESPN College Football, ESPN Radio, NHL Network as well as various media and speaking platforms nationwide.

A passion for continued growth brought me to New York City in 2023 to tackle sports in the broadcast media capital of the world. I joined the FTN Network as a sports host & analyst during a time when sports betting was hitting its stride through my work on a weekly NFL betting show, and created short form content for betting fans focused a number of professional leagues on the FTN Network social platforms.

I also dove back into writing through a monthly column covering all sports leagues at Sportmoney HQ. These columns allowed me to stay engaged with news across sports and have meaningful conversations with current and former players to get their insight on happenings in the league.

Driven, adaptable, and passionate about storytelling, I’ve built my career by creating opportunities and delivering under pressure—on and off camera.

Where I am today….

My first job out of college, I was hired to be a Digital Media Reporter for Pack Pride (247Sports/CBSSports.com) a website that I still contribute content to today. I am also in season three as the In-Game Host for the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes. After my first season with the Canes, I was rewarded with a bigger role inside the organization as a CanesVision Web Host, where I helped produce and introduce a new series called "On The Radar", highlighting the latest social trends and topics across the franchise.  “On The Radar” grew to become a full live in-game pregame show and intermission show in which I host as part of the Hurricanes game day entertainment and experience. I establish ideas, choose content and produce the entire show which also includes writing my own script, conducting interviews and creating an overall product that “informs, empowers and entertains” fans for each and every home game.

My first jump to television came shortly after I accelerated my responsibilities with the Hurricanes. I joined the Regional Network broadcasts after FOX Sports South invited me to be in the weekly rotation for ACC Football on RSNs across the country.

Among the stories I covered and broadcasts I was a part of this past football season include Louisville QB Micale Cunningham’s name change, Louisville Head Coach Scott Satterfield’s first ACC win, the historical six overtime game between Virginia Tech and UNC and Bud Foster’s final season.

Following my successful football coverage I then moved into contributing to Bally Sports South (formerly FOX Sports South/FOX Sports Carolinas) broadcasts as the fill-in Host and Rinkside Reporter on Carolina Hurricanes broadcasts after our current reporter fell suddenly ill this fall. At the time, the FOX Sports team trusted me enough to have me instantly take over his duties for a number of games which included hosting the pregame and intermission shows in addition to conducting in-game interviews. This then flourished into a full time position where I became the teams official Host and Rinkside Reporter. Coverage included the above in addition to postgame show duties and interviews, one-on-one feature interviews, feature stories about players, fans, coaches, and the organization throughout two historic 82 plus game seasons and two historic Stanley Cup Playoff runs.

Other duties over the last five years have included sideline reporting for ESPN College Football, appearances and contributions on NHL Network, local and national radio show appearances, podcast hosting and appearances as well as numerous public speaking engagements.

I am very passionate about this industry and have learned to hustle, and create opportunities. This shines through in my work ethic as I have juggled multiple internships and jobs throughout the past ten years. I have overcome obstacles and proven that I can excel in any situation I am thrown into. I look forward to continued success in my career as I break barriers and accelerate on this rollar coaster of a journey!
