Athletic Communication Professional


ABOUT
I'm a college athletics professional with 3 years of experience in a Division III athletic department. While the majority of my experience is at the Division II and III level, I have also worked at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) as the primary contact for men's soccer, women's basketball and baseball. During my internship at UAB I took photos during fall training camp for football to create social media content.
I specialize in media relations, graphic design and social media content. Passionate about telling athlete stories through multimedia outlets and finding new ways to grow professionally.

Working towards earning a Master of Science in Sport Management while also serving as an Athletic Communications Graduate Assistant. I have a Bachelor of Science in Mass Communication with minors in public relations and journalism.
