About Me

Hard-working media enthusiast with a passion to relay information to an audience

Indiana Wesleyan Graduate

Indiana Wesleyan’s multimedia program provided me with a variety of hands-on work. Multimedia allowed me to learn video, audio, and print media. I was able to form connections on campus and in the surrounding area. I joined Amplify Media to continue telling stories in sports, lifestyle, campus, events, and happenings. I worked with a great team of people to accomplish a common goal, such as remote broadcasts in the community. The athletic department provided me with broadcasting opportunities and connections. I broadcast basketball, volleyball, football, softball, and baseball during my college years. I

In my senior year, I started a weekly sports recap show about Indiana Wesleyan athletics. I combined all my multimedia skills, along with collaboration with various individuals, to produce a high-quality piece of content. The project not only gave me a great resume builder, but also skills I will use for the rest of my career.
