My mission is to challenge biases and bring attention to stories that often go unnoticed. With a genuine passion for sports, I aim to pursue a career in sports broadcasting to humanize athletes and share their personal journeys with authenticity. As a former athlete myself, I understand the importance of highlighting the stories behind the players. In addition to my love for traditional sports media, I have a particular passion for combat sports coverage, which reflects my personal interests and commitment to diversity in storytelling. I am eager to bring a fresh perspective, dedication to authenticity, and a genuine enthusiasm for diversity to your organization.”
