Most recently, I worked remotely in Los Angeles as the US Reporter for SportBusiness where I covered a little bit of everything in the business world of sports.

My first job following graduation from the University of Oregon was as a sports writer/producer for KTLA 5 in Hollywood, where I wrote scripts and edited video for sports segments of newscasts. I also freelanced as a reporter for multiple outlets, including covering high school sports the LA Times’ Orange County newspaper, the Daily Pilot. To see my written work, visit the stories tabs on this website.

I continued to work as a freelance play-by-play broadcaster for remote broadcasting company Spalk, covering for leagues ranging from Concacaf international soccer matches to Europe’s ice hockey Champions League, Korean baseball’s KBO, FIBA Africa basketball, South Korea’s professional women’s volleyball league, and world-feed broadcasts for the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS), among many other leagues and sports.
