About Me

I am a sports journalist and Division I athletics‑communications pro. As a student assistant in CU Boulder’s sports information office, I compiled live rushing statistics and handled media requests for every home game of Coach Deion Sanders first two seasons. My bylines in the Colorado Collegiate Chronicle deliver weekly, data‑driven coverage of all nine college‑football programs in the state. I pair on‑field analytics with human‑interest storytelling to give readers—and broadcasters—the full picture.
