Before I ever held a microphone, I held a basketball. As a former collegiate athlete, the game taught me discipline, preparation, leadership and resilience.
I helped lead my team to a USCAA National Championship during my freshman season. During my sophomore season, I emerged as the team’s leading scorer, earned All-Conference honors, and was recognized as a USCAA All-American.
My impact extended beyond the court through an NIL partnership with Moolah Kicks, a women’s basketball footwear brand built by women for women. I also served as an ambassador for Honey Stinger, a sports nutrition brand known for energy chews, waffles, gels and snacks designed to help athletes fuel training, competition and recovery.
Those experiences now shape the way I cover athletes and tells the stories behind the game—bringing firsthand understanding, respect and perspective to every interview, broadcast and story I create.
