I have 5 years of experience in film and media, and 3 years of experience in journalism, specifically broadcast. In high school, I served as Jaguar News Network's sports reporter and staff member during the 2022-2023 school year, and I acted as the Sports Producer for the 2023-2024 year. I was also named the Producer for Madison Central's Academy of Multimedia and Communications' Sideline Crew, where I coordinated a team of students to film and make content for Madison Central's sporting events.

Football sidelines have always been my happy place. When I chose not to continue doing dance team, I felt like I had lost my place on Friday nights. However, through sideline crew, I was able to create content that I'm passionate about while still being part of the game.
One of the things I love most about journalism is being able to go out into the real world and get stories that matter. Here is a quick snapshot I got while interviewing the owner of Soulé, a new drink shop in Jackson, MS, on how the Jackson water crisis affected his business as well as the community.
Here I was given the incredible opportunity to get inside the University of Alabama's newsroom to take a look at the equipment and set pieces used in the industry. I got to speak with the Director of Alabama Public Radio on how he earned the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2018.
