Undergraduate Communications student at Vanderbilt University, Class of 2023. I have a strong passion for sports and sports journalism and broadcasting. I love all sports, but some of my favorites are football, basketball, baseball, and MMA (UFC). Currently, I work as a journalist for Magnolia Tribune and have also written for Vanderbilt's student newspaper, the Hustler and MMA Island. I hope to pursue a career in sports journalism after graduation.
