I feel like a lot of people would probably not know that I am super into history. It has always been one of my favorite subjects in school and I really enjoy learning different facts about the past.

I am very passionate about sports, too. I really want to become a sportscaster. It is a big goal of mine to work for ESPN. During COVID, I started a sports show called the Social Sports Hour. It is a great portfolio builder for what I am trying to do in sports media. We have had some cool guests on the show including NASCAR driver Erik Jones, Spikeball CEO Chris Ruder, Maryland basketball player Reese Mona and other professional and college athletes.

Outside of school, I have multiple jobs. I work at Bayside, which is a resort town in southern Delaware, where I work at the gym and pools they have on the property. I also work for a company called Turf Trade, they supply turf products for golf courses, landscapers, sod farms, and athletic fields. I help work the warehouse and make deliveries for them. On top of those two jobs, I also have my sports show, which I do consider another job.

I love spending time at the beach when I have free time. It is great to just relax and have the natural sounds of the ocean. While we are at the beach we like to play spike ball, and I really enjoy spending time with my friends playing that.

Lastly, in my life, I would love to travel the world and view different places that I’ve never seen.
