Feature Writer

A graduate from the University of Colorado at Boulder with a degree in Broadcast News, I focused in sports broadcasting while in school both on the college and professional level.  My work has appeared in national organizations such as Inside Lacrosse Magazine, the National Lacrosse League, Kroenke Sports and Entertainment, NDP Lacrosse, and CollegeLax.  I have also contributed greatly in the Club Sports Department during my time at CU in both hockey and lacrosse.

I have experience in digital media, social media, public relations, media relations, sports writing, editing, anchoring, analysis and play-by-play broadcasting.
