Professional info
I am currently a sales teammate at Under Armour where I help to generate sales and empower athletes. On weekends I enjoy refereeing soccer games. In early 2017 I became a certified soccer referee through the U.S. Soccer Federation. I am a Washington Redskins editor/staff writer for profootballspot.com where I write about a variety of topics such as fantasy football, the NFL Draft, and games.
I was part of a team that worked on a project to improve the Westminster Dog Show for Fox Sports. Fox was completely on board with our project and decided to implement our plan as part of their strategy. In early 2017 my team got to see our plan carried out which included using on air talent Katie Nolan.
I was an intern at the Terrapin Club Scholarship Fund and Lagardère Sports. I freelanced for publications such as Lacrosse Magazine and The Bowie Blade-News. My extensive sports writing experience includes writing for my high school newspaper, college newspaper, and an internship at The Capital newspaper in Annapolis, Maryland. I also had a radio show in college.
