Producing

Since freshman year of high school, I have thrown myself into the world of producing. My producing journey starts with WAHS News - the daily live morning news show at American Heritage - I helped write, film, and edit stories and packages weekly while also working behind the scenes during live shows. Thanks to this experience, my passion for producing grew throughout the years, eventually leading me to Syracuse University to pursue my dream of producing longform stories for a large sports network. Along the way, I've worked at CitrusTV,  which has not only aided me in refining my teamwork skills, but also my ideas of newsworthiness and storytelling. I had the opportunity to produce three shows - Live at 6, 'Cuse Tonight, and Freshly Squeezed Live (not published below since it was a freshman based show solely produced to help new CitrusTV members get acclimated to the work environment!). My time at NFL Films was also essential to helping me become more confident in my sports producing abilities - forcing me to step out of my comfort zone and hone my skills in a medium I’ve admired my entire life. My work from NFL Films can be viewed on HBO Max (Hard Knocks In Season: The Arizona Cardinals) and ESPN (30 For 30: The Minister of Defense).
