SB Nation (Turf Show Times)

​

I've been a contributor to Turf Show Times since July 2021. TST was my first introduction to online sports media, and I've written everything from NFL draft profiles to coverage of the Rams' run to the 2022 Super Bowl against the Cincinnati Bengals.

​​​The Vidette

​​

I served as a News and Features Intern and then as an Assistant News Editor for The Vidette, an online student newspaper at Illinois State University. There I covered breaking news, on-campus and local events and even served on the editorial board.

IHSA 50th Anniversary Celebration

​

I was commissioned by the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) in October 2024 to write profile stories to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the football and volleyball state finals. For this project, I interviewed former players and coaches from several of the top 10 schools listed.

Heavy on Broncos

​

I covered the Denver Broncos as a contracted contributor for Heavy Sports from August 2023 to May 2024. Like TST, I covered all aspects of the Broncos, with a more hard-lined journalistic approach.

Grassroots Writing Research Journal - Issue 14.1 Fall 2023

​

My journal article titled, "My Football Life in Four Quarters: Rediscovering a Lost Literary Identity," was published through the ISU Writing Program in August 2023. The article describes my love of professional football, writing and the literacies I gained in hopes of becoming a sports media writer.
