As an editor on the ESPN BottomLine, I worked in a dynamic newsroom environment, writing and editing breaking news alerts and sending them to millions of homes in real time.
I covered the biggest stories in sports, including those outside the lines, like Colin Kaepernick's social justice protests and the death of a legend in Muhammad Ali.
In March 2020, the coronavirus shut down the sports world. As a manager with the SEC Network, I had to maintain the flow of content to our website and keep my staff working with no college events to draw from.
I implemented a new content initative for original video and writing, encouraging my team to be creative and learn new skills during the height of the pandemic.
From 2013-15, I was the sports editor for the Paso Robles Press on California's Central Coast. As a young journalist, the opportunity to see a small, local newsroom in action was invaluable.
I wore many hats with the Paso Press, often working as reporter, photographer, editor, graphic designer and paginator all at once.
