Emmy Award Winner!

June 2, 2025

A few weeks ago, I was recognized as a part of the NBC Sports research team by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS)! During the 2024 Paris Olympics, I was a statistician for our "Swing Team" department, which floated between various sports. Over the course of a month, I was tasked with learning specifics of sport shooting and taekwondo. It was an enriching experience to work with on-air talent and producers to produce what included viral moments online along with a world-class broadcast product. I look forward to continued involvement with future Summer Olympics!

I'm pleased to announce that I will be working with the Tampa Bay Lightning for the 2024-25 season! I've accepted a role as a Broadcast Assistant with the Lightning Radio team. This means I'll dip into a role in producing and contributing to all of our audio content. It's almost unbelievable that after leaving my hometown to study in Syracuse and work with the Crunch in the AHL, that I'm back in Tampa with the Bolts! Is it October yet? 

Back to the pitch!

After a year and a half with the Tampa Bay Lightning, I'm grateful to have had the chance to cap my time off with the Tampa Bay Lightning with a historic game bringing hockey outdoors in Florida! In my time with Lightning Radio, our team piloted new content and grew our radio and audio reach.

 

Through 1.5 years managing our social media channels, our Facebook following grew 73% up to 9.7 total followers and Instagram approaches 4,000 followers for a 77% increase in following through my time. Another great milestone was the creation of the Lightning Audio Network YouTube channel which is up to 1.15K subscribers after starting in March of 2025.

In saying that, after a season and a half in hockey, I’m moving back to soccer with a familiar company in the United Soccer League (USL) HQ in a new role! I'm excited to take my YouTube and content skills and continue building on my job as a YouTube and Content Asset Coordinator! Excited for the new opportunity as the World Cup comes to the US and soccer is on the rise!
