It’s bittersweet for me to write this, but this past weekend I graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in Communications and Media and a minor in Creative Writing. 

Throughout my time at the Michigan I joined Big Ten Student U where I got to focus on sideline reporting, something I hope and plan to continue in my professional career. I’ve had the opportunity to report on the sidelines for Michigan men’s basketball, Michigan women’s basketball’s first ever jersey retirement ceremony, Michigan playoff hockey and lacrosse, and so many other incredible games. Thank you to all the producers at Big Ten Student U for trusting me to report on some of our biggest and most watched games. 

Another large part of my journey at Michigan was joining WCBN FM, the student radio station. At WCBN, I worked as both a play by play and color analyst and spent the last year and a half as the club president alongside Ethan Sommers as my vice president. I’m so grateful for all the opportunities this club has given me including traveling to Oklahoma for Michigan football, calling Michigan women’s basketball March Madness games in Ann Arbor, and most notably calling the Michigan men’s basketball National Championship win courtside in Indianapolis with one of my best friends Zachary Warshaw. And even getting posted on the March Madness instagram account having our video reach almost 400k views. https://lnkd.in/eQsbu_zZ

The University of Michigan is truly the greatest university in the world and I cannot express my gratitude enough for this school making my dreams come true beyond belief. Thank you to everyone who made this the best four years of my entire life especially Sydney Cyprian, Gina Czochara, and Gabriella Miller some of my best friends who are also some of my biggest inspirations, I couldn’t do this without you guys. As I move back home to Los Angeles, it is my goal to continue working as a sports reporter with the foundation that Michigan helped me build. Go Blue! | 39 comments on LinkedIn
