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 content can best be tailored and 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 and scored panelists based on their answers to questions about major sports news. Aside from studio reporting, I gained valuable MMJ experience by often covering 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, helping them create video content for their segments of the nightly newscasts and shadowing them as they conducted sports stories in the field. I also interned for Collegiate Sports Management Group as a Media and Analytics associate in the summer of 2024, preparing scopes of services, valuations, and conducting outreach for NCAA Division I, II and III universities and small-scale professional sports leagues.
In my spare time throughout college, I served as a play-by-play commentator in the greater Austin area for Dave Campbell’s Texan Live, a subscription-based streaming service that broadcast Texas high school athletic events, and helped jumpstart the Burnt Orange Sports Network, a live sports commentating organization for UT Austin students.
As I’m currently searching for a full-time sports video production or MMJ role, I’m producing and editing video content for Cracked Racquets, a professional and collegiate tennis streaming outlet, and creating the Austin Gamblers’ media guide ahead of the 2025 PBR Teams Series. In the meantime, I encourage you to dive right in and check out some of my work!
