About

I grew up in upstate New York, fell in love with college basketball, and have been covering the sport since 2016. Now, I do it full-time for Sports Illustrated, where I help lead our national coverage with weekly columns, impactful feature stories, bracketology and on-the-ground coverage of more than 60 games a year. I'm passionate about telling the stories of the incredibly vast 364-team landscape and helping fans understand the rapidly-changing world of college basketball while providing the type of content that everyone from coaches to fans learns something from. In addition to college basketball, I've also helped SI with its NBA draft coverage and contributed to sponsored content verticals. I wrote the SI Guide newsletter, a service-driven newsletter to help fans find their favorite games quicker, for more than 18 months. I'm a Medill School of Journalism graduate of Northwestern University with a certificate in integrated marketing communications.
