Who
I Am
I am a passionate and versatile sports broadcaster who recently graduated from Penn State University with a Bachelor's degree in Broadcast Journalism. I also hold minors in Sports Studies and Statistics, along with a certificate from the prestigious John Curley Center for Sports Journalism.
Throughout my time at Penn State, I gained extensive play-by-play experience across multiple sports and high-profile events. My work includes but is not limited to national broadcasts for Big Ten Plus, the 2022 Women's Frozen Four, and Penn State Football games. Notably, I was on the call for the Nittany Lions' outdoor hockey matchup against Notre Dame at Wrigley Field on 1/3/25, along with all three Penn State men’s hockey postseason games during the 2024–25 season, including the Frozen Four showdown in St. Louis against Boston University.
Beyond the broadcast booth, I served as the lead insider for Penn State men’s hockey with CommRadio, the university’s student-run sports broadcasting outlet. Over three seasons, I established myself as the go-to source for team news, delivering beat reports, in-depth features, and real-time updates on social media. My thorough and consistent coverage earned me recognition as the most prominent Penn State hockey reporter among student and professional media alike.
I currently serve as the broadcaster and media relations coordinator for the Rochester Grizzlies (NA3HL), calling every home game and five games at the league showcase while overseeing all team social media content, graphics, and written communications. In addition, I work freelance and part-time for Roar Plus covering Penn State Hockey and contribute to College Hockey News.
I aim to bring energy, insight, and a deep knowledge of the game to every broadcast—and I’m just getting started!
