In eighth grade, we wrote a letter to our future selves, something we would receive upon high school graduation. Included in the letter could be whatever we desired, our hopes, dreams, goals... a few weeks before graduation, I received my letter. In mine, I wrote that I hoped that I would be attending a university to study sports journalism. 

Today, I am a senior at Penn State, majoring in broadcast journalism with a media studies minor. State College has quickly become a second home to me, a place to learn and to grow. Over the past four years, I have furthered my knowledge in all aspects of the sports media industry. I have also interned with a variety of media organizations, gaining experience ranging from sports journalism to social media.

Five years from now, I hope to be working as a sports broadcaster. I grew up around sports, specifically football, baseball, and wrestling; I strive to turn that passion into a lifelong career.
