About

I am a multimedia journalist focused on sports media and broadcasting. I have more than 4 years under my belt reporting anything from sports, news, breaking news and weather. I am highly trained and experienced with writing, editing as well as shooting content. Part of my daily routine includes, going out into the community to listen and tell stories. When it comes to the sports side, I set up interviews with coaches and players while also shooting my own video to later turn into inspiring packages and more. I am a former Alabama athlete and have had a love and passion for the sports world since I was younger.
