Backstory
My love for sports is my motive for pursuing a degree in journalism. It has been a dream of mine since I was a young child to work as a sports journalist for the NBA/NFL as a reporter, commentator, or broadcaster. It fuels my passion and would make my career a hobby more than a occupation. My infatuation with sports helps me relentlessly seek and attack new opportunities.
