Biography
As part of the College Sports PR team at ESPN, it has been an exciting adventure for me since I joined the worldwide leader in July 2010. Always an avid sports fan and not an athlete – I grew up a huge fan of the Hartford Whalers, while also watching my brother compete at different levels. I became the manager of several high school sports teams and continued that hobby into college. While at Quinnipiac, I worked in the Sports Information Department, which led me to a summer internship at the New Haven Ravens, a AA baseball team, and an eventual job with the Athletic Communications Department at the University of Connecticut. After my five-year stint at Connecticut, I spent six years as Director of Communications at the BIG EAST Conference in Providence, R.I. before joining ESPN.

By Rachel Siegal, Haley Cooper, Ryan Kilmer, James Cook| Wiley Online Library Verified Abstract Black communities have been disproportionately impacted by the syndemic of COVID-19 and structural racism. Place-based initiatives (PBIs) are well-positioned to respond to this syndemic. This study sought to highlight disparities in access to social determinants of health (SDH) between two racially segregated communities, assess residents' needs and measure resource accessibility in one predominantly Black community, and describe the PBI's response.
