About

Experienced writer with a demonstrated history of working in the sports industry. I am confident in my ability to cover any sports at a high level with an emphasis on speed, accuracy, and informing readers. Whether it’s analyzing a game-sealing bucket, understanding a hitter’s approach at the plate or explaining why a defense can’t stop the run, I have proven my understanding and passion for sports with detail through my work both with Major League Baseball, the Washington Post and most recently The Messenger. Through my work with MLB and Capital News Service covering the Maryland State legislature, I have continued to embrace bringing these stories to the forefront through thorough reporting, persistent sourcing, and a clear understanding for the story that needs to be told. I pride myself in this specific versatility, accept the responsibility that it holds, and thrive bringing these stories to life. I pride myself on being a journalist who is obsessed with sports, not just a sports reporter. I also have a particular passion for integrating analytics and reporting .
