About Me.
Thank you for visiting my website!
​
In the spring of 2019, I decided to trade in my ballet slippers and pointe shoes for a stick mic and a video camera to chase my dream of being a sports reporter. Ballet may be one of the most grueling sports, but there was no sideline interviews or play-by-play calls of my performances that I could watch highlighted on YouTube, so when I came to IU as a freshman studying sports broadcast journalism, I had a lot to learn. However, that didn't scare me. I knew I loved sports and knew I wanted to be apart of the exciting atmosphere for the rest of my life.
​
I jumped right into my sports reporting journey when I first arrived at IU, writing for the Indiana Daily Student on the third highest beat (women's basketball) as a sophomore. I was responsible for game recap articles and intriguing sidebar stories. I transitioned from sports writing into sports broadcasting my junior year, working as a women's basketball beat reporter and sports anchor for Indiana University Student Television (IUSTV) and as a men's soccer beat reporter for the Hoosier Network (HN). For both IUSTV and HN, I shot game footage, press conferences and stand-ups, edited it all into a package and wrote voice-over scripts for the packages or feature stories. For IUSTV, I anchored our weekly show called Hoosier Sports Night.
I started my live-television career during my junior year when I joined the Big Ten Network Student Union (BTNSU) as a sideline reporter. I have continued with IUSTV, HN and BTNSU during my last year at IU.
​
As for my media opportunities outside of IU, I worked abroad in Italy during the summer of 2022 for a soccer (or "football" as Italians call it) newsletter called Il Romanista. I wore many hats including editor, translator and writer.
​
My dream is to be a sideline reporter for network TV covering college basketball.
