About Me: I’ve been working in the track and field media space for over a decade. I went from track athlete to student-athlete reporter, to full-time journalist, with both my degrees in Sports Journalism from Michigan State University while competing on the varsity team.

I’ve worked with the best of the best in track and field and other mainstream sports at events like the Junior Olympics for USA Track and Field, MileSplit and FloTrack, highlighting athletes at Millrose Games and Prefontaine Classic with World Athletics and covered a bucket list event like the 2021 Olympic Trials.

I understand the importance of telling stories the right way, and I’m closing the gap by sharing different perspectives and spotlighting all types of people, athletes and journeys.

About Speak Your Piece: An platform that creates a safe space for myself, people and athletes alike to talk about everything from unpopular opinions, life stories, lessons learned, things observed and more within the spaces of sports, culture and twenty somethings.
