Biography

I am a sports journalist with a Master's degree from Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism and a Bachelor's from Michigan State. I have covered soccer extensively, with experience beat reporting, commentating and podcasting men's and women's teams from both universities. I experience in other sports as well, including being able to cover Super Bowl 57 in Phoenix. My career goals are to beat report for a professional team, and hopefully for multiple teams in the same city for one outlet one day.
