About: I cover the Iowa Football beat, bringing experience from reporting at major East Coast outlets including The Buffalo News, The News & Observer, The Richmond Times-Dispatch, and The Associated Press. I earned a master’s degree in broadcast and digital journalism from Syracuse University in 2025, where I was part of the sports media communications cohort, and a bachelor’s degree in media arts and design with a minor in sports communication from James Madison University in 2023.
