I’m originally from Rapid City, South Dakota and grew up mostly in San Antonio, Texas. I attended Texas A&M University majoring in Visualization. I am now the Manager of Creative Content for Ole Miss Women’s Basketball.
During my undergrad, I worked for four years at 12th Man Productions, A&M Athletics’ broadcast and creative studio, and branch of ESPN’s SEC Network. I spent two years working directly with Women’s Soccer and three years with Football. While working for Football, I worked on “The Pulse”, an Emmy award-winning show about A&M football that airs on ESPNU.
After graduation, I moved to Oxford, Mississippi to be the Manager of Creative Content for Ole Miss Women’s Basketball. On top of content planning for the season, I am fully responsible for shooting videos, taking photos, making graphics, and creating anything else needed to help tell the story of the team’s historic run to the Sweet Sixteen.
When I’m not working on projects for school or work, I freelance and work on OVERCAST, a personal animated project. I’m not sure what the future holds for me long-term, but for now, I am passionately honing my skills to do the very best possible job of telling stories in creative ways.
