About Me
I fell in love with football when I was 10 years old. I went to school with the desire to spend my entire life attempting to capture the magic of sports through journalism. Since then, I have been blessed with the opportunity to tell stories about various different sports, in many unexpected places, from several different perspectives.
Work Experience
September 2024 - February 2025
Production coordinator for SkyCam, the leading designer and manufacturer of mobile aerial camera systems based in Fort Worth, Texas. Assisting with the day to day logistics of broadcast engineers and contractors on the ground at major sporting events all over the country.
January 2021 - August 2024
Being a 2020 Covid college graduate altered the course of my career. I've been very intentional about using every opportunity and connection I've had to continue building my resume. In 2021, I moved to Hawai'i in the midst of global hiring freeze.
While being there, I worked as a surf instructor and I had the opportunity to report on local events and figures, such as professional big wave surfers and the Maui wildfires. For 3 years, I was hired by Teton Ridge to assist in the production of the American Rodeo and the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.
June 2020 - December 2021
When COVID hit, I began working as a social media manager for public figures such as Justin McKee, a few top 15 ranked professional cowboys, and stock contractors. I was hired to do press releases, interviews and run social media accounts for rodeo committees. I freelanced at the National High School Finals Rodeo, the WCRA's Stampede at the E, and every PRCA rodeo in Kansas that summer, including the Prairie Circuit Finals - assisting either as a social media content creator or conducting interviews with my phone.
I was then hired by Resistol to interview their endorsees at the 2020 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo and attended the 2021 WNFR managing social media content for the entities I work for.
July 2019 - March 2020
In the summer of 2019, I interned for The Cowboy Channel, assisting in the production of professional rodeos. I was then hired to help with the launch of the network in the summer of 2019 and went on to assist in the live production of 3 of the biggest western events in rodeo at the time: The Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, the Denver Stock Show & Rodeo and The American Rodeo.
2018 - 2019
I was a student intern for the Kansas Athletics Communications department, covering all sports at the University of Kansas. This included various jobs such as taking photographs, operating a team's social media and gathering information for media purposes. I also work for the MIDCO Sports Network as an associate in the television production of local sporting events.
