Covering sports is my passion! With almost 10 years of experience, I still make sure to challenge myself and I make it a point to learn something new everyday. It's not only my job to cover local athletes, teams and events, but to get involved in the community. Just like the sports I cover on a daily basis, teamwork is a big thing. I pride myself in being a team player and I'm always going to go the extra mile to do get the job done! I'm lucky to do what I do and never take one day for granted!
