About

I am a fourth-year journalism major at the University of Georgia, aspiring to work in sports communications or journalism. 

Since arriving at UGA, I have earned a 3.98 GPA. In my journalism classes I have practiced writing in AP style, using social media for journalistic purposes and effective interviewing. I turn in assignments on time, I work well with others and I enjoy receiving feedback. I also have experience pitching exceptional story ideas, as my group, covering Diversity and Equity, won first place in the Reporting I Beat Pitch Competition.

I have written basketball game recaps for WUOG 90.5 FM and was a beat mentor for new reporting students. I am in my second semester of classes for the Sports Media Certificate in the Carmical Sports Media Institute, practicing journalism and communication skills specifically for sports. Additionally, I have bolstered my communication skills through work as a competitive sports official with UGA’s Department of Recreational Sports.

I grew up playing and watching soccer, and my goal is to work in the communications department for a professional soccer team, or for a news outlet covering the game. You will also catch me playing intramural soccer in my free time.

I am minoring in Spanish, and hope the skills I learn can supplement my work. I studied in Sevilla, Spain for six weeks this past summer to immerse myself in the language and culture. I understand the significance of the language not only in soccer, but in the context of the United States’ growing Spanish-speaking population.
