Summary

I am a sports nerd. Not a day goes by when I am not listening to a basketball podcast, watching a detailed breakdown of a UFC fight, or reading an article about an upcoming matchup in the English Premier League. I not only enjoy the entertainment and insight that’s being presented, but I'm also paying attention to how the messages are being delivered: How are reporters asking questions? How do podcasters control the cadence and rhythm of each episode? How do journalists dissect each unique storyline? This is what motivates me. I have discovered the artistry of true storytelling and I crave the opportunity to further my knowledge and ultimately make my mark in the media.
