Entering the world of collegiate sports
I dreamed of working in the NBA since I started college. I knew the best way to get there was by working for the UF Athletic Association. I interned for the PR dept in various sports to learn what it meant to work with national and local media outlets.
​
The Gators were experiencing some of their best years as an overall sports program during my time as a student. My duties included sharing analytics and stats with media outlets during my senior football and basketball seasons. I was also responsible for writing player features and archiving photos for team websites and media guides. I eventually worked for the NBA after my time with the Gators. Having a recognizable sports team on my resume paved the way.
