About Me

I’m originally from Rapid City, South Dakota and grew up mostly in San Antonio, Texas. I studied at Texas A&M University majoring in Visualization. I am currently an Assistant Director of Creative Video for Utah Athletics.

During my undergrad, I worked for four years at 12th Man Productions, A&M Athletics’ broadcast & creative studio, and branch of ESPN’s SEC Network. It gave me opportunities to work on linear broadcasts, create content for some of the biggest social accounts in college sports, help create big screen content for football , work on Emmy winning TV shows, and even earn my own Emmy nomination for work on a documentary. 

After graduation, I worked for a year at Ole Miss as the Women’s Basketball Director of Creative Content, leading the content team on our way to the Sweet Sixteen.

I’ve been in Salt Lake City for three years, working at Utah Athletics and am in a role focused on video production, motion graphics, and venue experience.

When I’m not traveling with work I’m under the hood of my money-hungry Subaru, spending too much money at a coffee shop, or playing Ultimate Frisbee. I’m not sure what the future holds for me but for now, I am passionately honing my skills to tell stories in creative ways, and give fans the best in-game experience possible.
