My Story
I fell in love with the game of football at a young age, but unfortunately, it was a sport I never had the opportunity to play as a girl. As I got older, I noticed the women on the field reporting, and that's when I realized I could still have a role in the game of football. That leads me to where I am today, following my passion for football, and other sports, sharing compelling stories with fans about their favorite athletes and teams.
When I am not covering or watching sports, I am focused on my other passion of learning about astronomy and and mathematics and how they tie into our everyday lives. As an amateur astrophotographer, I take stunning pictures of the moon, and I am an avid stargazer who looks for upcoming celestial events.
Personal Leadership Statement
I will use my platform as a successful woman in sports media to inspire young girls who want to work in the sports world. My goal is to be the woman who shares the same feeling of empowerment I felt the first time I turned on the television and saw a female reporter standing on a football field.
Sports are universal. They are played and watched by people of all genders, races, and cultures across the globe. Women need to be represented in sports media to show we are fully capable reporters with refined understandings of sports and the impact they hold in society. A girl should not feel discouraged because she loves a male-dominant sport, or because society dictates women as unfit to play or talk about those sports.
The amount of passion sports fans have in their hearts is hard to find anywhere else. It is my passion to contribute to those fans by reporting on their favorite teams. I hope that in the future, I can influence more girls to follow their passions in working with, talking about, and being involved in the sports they love.
