ABOUT
I graduated from Carroll Senior High School with NHS Honors along with Quill and Scroll Society honors. In all 4 years of my high school, I was a member of the Student Council as spirit officer and as a senator. I was also a part of Young Men's Service League from 2018-2021. I participated in my school's yearbook club and news show. I was awarded the Scottish Right Success Scholar. I got the opportunity to do play-by-play for my high schools basketball team. I have experience in the broadcasting world as I have attended Play-by-Play Sports Broadcasting from 2017-2022, and in 2024 I was a counselor for the camp. I was an intern at the Varsity Sports Show, where I filmed high school football & basketball games across the Phoenix area. Most recently I was a member of the social media engagement team for the sports bureau at the Cronkite school.
