I am a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in English Writing.
I grew up rooting for Philly sports teams, with about zero interest in Pitt sports or any of the pro teams in Pittsburgh for that matter. Upon arriving at Pitt, I immediately had a passion for Pitt athletics.
In terms of my interest in sports media, I’ve always loved everything about it, whether it was watching First Take or listening to Mike and Mike or reading articles while I was supposed to be paying attention in class, I was always taking in sports content.
Although I always loved talking sports and watching sports, I never really considered it as more than just something to do for fun. As I got older, I realized that I just loved sports too much and I had to pursue a career in sports media. I switched my major in my sophomore year and began writing for my school paper, The Pitt News, in my junior year.
I covered Pitt football during my internship with Deceptive Speed and have done both sports and news coverage for the Lehigh Valley Press.
