Sports BRoadcaster & Producer
About Me
Sports have always taken the number one spot for my greatest passion since I was young. My fascinations for different teams, games, athletes and coaches consistently drive me to want to work in its community and express my own love for the ways they all motivate us. Early on, I knew that sports reporting or producing would be the perfect outlet for me to immerse myself into a world that brings a tremendous amount of people closer together. As I have gained experience through various opportunities at the University of Texas at Austin and professional internships, I’ve learned more about the currently changing broadcast and streaming landscape around sports, understanding the ways in which stories can best be delivered through different platforms.
In May of 2025, I graduated from UT Austin with a Bachelor’s of Journalism and Business Minor. My four years at the school were often characterized by my work in the sports department of Texas Student Television (TSTV), UT Austin’s official FCC-licensed, student-broadcast station. Each week, I would perform various on-air or off-air roles for its shows, including hosting them, analyzing professional and collegiate sports, producing video content and working in master control. During the 2024-25 academic school year, I served as the recurring host for the sports debate show, College Crossfire, on Wednesday nights, where I wrote each episode’s script, produced its video content and scored panelists based on their answers to questions about major sports news. Aside from studio reporting, I gained valuable MMJ experience by covering many live Texas sporting events, like football and basketball games, and attending media availabilities on behalf of the station to turn and produce my own PKGs.
In the summer of 2023, I interned for KXAN-TV, Austin, Texas’ local NBC affiliate station owned by Nexstar Media Group. Throughout this internship, I worked alongside sports reporters, cutting VOs and VOSOTs for their segments of the nightly newscasts and shadowing them as they conducted sports stories in the field.
My post-graduate work has so far included producing and editing video content for Cracked Media Ventures, a broadcast and digital sports outlet with various subsidiary brands: Cracked Racquets, Cracked Sports and Cracked Paddles. Specific projects that I’ve worked on include producing hype videos for the 2025 professional tennis Grand Slams, cutting match highlights from the ATP and WTA tours and filming on-site digital content at an ATP Challenger Tour event. Additionally, I interned for the Austin Gamblers, a Professional Bull Riders team, and created their first edition of a team media guide ahead of the 2025 season.
While I’m currently searching for a full-time sports video producer or MMJ role, I call play-by-play for Dave Campbell’s Texan Live, a Texas high school sports live streaming outlet, in the greater Houston area. In the meantime, I encourage you to dive right in and check out some of my work!
