POE: Multimedia Production with a Secondary Emphasis in Marketing
I realized I consumed so much sports content that I loved watching. So, I decided to try my hand at making it myself. As an athlete myself I’ve always wanted to be represented by awesome content. I feel like that doesn’t happen a lot in D3 athletics so I wanted to take a shot at representing us.
It feels satisfying to create a story in your head and make that idea a reality for people to enjoy. Storytelling is an art that requires so much attention to detail and seeing it come to fruition is an amazing thing.
I have worked in sports communication for around 2 years now, taking and editing photos for games as well as making highlights for different games. I think that my internship was an important experience. There’s no other way to learn than by getting out there, failing, learning, and trying again to succeed.
“My ideal career path is to work with ESPN to make sports documentaries for different teams and sports around the world.”
