This is where It all started.
I got my first job in sports as a radio intern for ESPN, and as a play-by-play reporter for the NBA D-League (now G-League).
These early experiences laid the foundation for my career in sports media. At ESPN Radio, I ran social coverage during live broadcasts, clipping moments / quotes from interviews. At the NBA D-League, I created original content, live-tweeted games, and wrote press releases to match league standards.
It was as entry level as it gets. But I loved it. These roles gave me direct access to high-velocity workflows and tight deadlines.
It’s where I first learned how to tell stories.
