Summary

Sports journalist with 10+ years of experience in a fast paced newsroom, including the last 5+ years at ESPN. I have a proven track record of hitting deadline while composing well-crafted and meaningful articles. With two journalism degrees (B.S., Journalism and Communication, Oregon; M.S., Sports Journalism Quinnipiac), I have used the knowledge I've gained to succeed at the professional level at every stop. I currently work at ESPN as an editor on the NBA team where I've managed two writers (Kevin Pelton and Jamal Collier).
