Sports BRoadcaster & Producer

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 drove me to want to work in its community and express my own love for the ways we are all motivated by them. Early on, I knew that reporting around sports 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, I’ve learned more about the currently changing linear and streaming landscape around sports, giving me another deep interest: media rights, licensing and content distribution for broadcast.

I started attending UT Austin in 2021 as a Journalism major, now with a minor in Business. During my time here, I have been an avid member of the sports department for Texas Student Television (TSTV), UT Austin’s official FCC-licensed, student-broadcast station. Since early 2022, I’ve hosted shows, analyzed professional and collegiate sports, and produced video content for three of its productions: College Press Box, College Crossfire and 1-0 Sports. As of the fall of 2024, I currently host College Crossfire on Wednesday nights and score panelists based on their answers to questions about major sports news. Aside from reporting in the studio, I cover live UT sporting events, like football and men’s and women’s basketball games, and attend media availabilities on behalf of the station.

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 II universities and small-scale professional sports leagues.

In my spare time, I also serve 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.
