From an early age, I loved Boston sports, specifically the Boston Red Sox. Watching the NESN games as a kid enlightened me about the power that media has to portray the story of a game or the team as a whole for the season. As I developed my skills in film and television production, I learned that I thrive in a live environment and the pressure/stress that comes with it. I had a summer-long internship where I put together a live baseball broadcast and it only propelled my love for live productions. The meticulous nature of live productions and the adrenaline that comes with it pushes me to get better and hone my skills even more in hopes that one day I can do this work all the time. It would be a dream come true to intertwine my love of baseball and filmmaking for The Red Sox or any Baseball team for that matter.

Target internships:

Boston Red Sox

Boston Bruins

NESN

I hope to develop my skills in live television production in my future endeavors. I bring a mix of technical and soft skills to any production to immerse an audience in the story being told.
