My Storytelling

As a beat reporter, I wrote a feature story on the Corona del Sol High School’s girls volleyball program, focusing on the team’s strong culture and its consistent pipeline sending athletes to NCAA programs. I conducted five in-depth interviews with players and coach Ben Maxfield, gathered in-game statistics and wrote the story on deadline. The piece highlighted how the program’s emphasis on connection and accountability translates into on-court success and college opportunities. Published on AZPreps365, the story received strong local engagement and was shared across the school’s athletics channels.

As a beat reporter, I covered the high school football matchup between Corona del Sol and Sandra Day O’Connor, focusing on key drives and momentum swings that shaped the game’s outcome. I tracked live statistics and conducted three postgame interviews with players and coaches to gather insight and reaction. Working on a same-night deadline, I crafted a clear, game story that emphasized execution and turning points. The piece was published on AZPreps365 shortly after the final whistle, providing timely coverage for Arizona high school football readers.

As a baseball reporter, I covered a high school matchup between Corona del Sol and Brophy Prep by closely following the flow of the game inning by inning, identifying key moments that influenced momentum and ultimately the result. I kept detailed live statistics and an accurate scorebook throughout, ensuring all pitching, hitting and defensive data were recorded in real time. After the final out, I conducted three postgame interviews with players and coaches to capture immediate reactions and insight into pivotal plays and performances. Working on a three hour deadline, I produced a concise, well-structured game story that highlighted execution, situational baseball and turning points, delivering timely and informative coverage for readers.
