What is a favorite moment(s) about your internship: “Following Central Catholics state championship run in 2021. Even though central Catholic isn’t my school I still have many friends on that basketball team, my cousin goes to Central Catholic and being able to see a team from our area win the state championship for basketball was really awesome.”

Thoughts of St. Luke’s partnership with D11Sports.com: “I think it’s really awesome to see that there are people out there who believe in young students like us that we can become something great and I just appreciate St. Luke’s for taking a chance and creating a partnership with the 11 to give me and my fellow reporters the opportunity to do something we love.”

Plans after college: “To hopefully find a job working as a sports journalist or sports broadcaster and eventually hopefully one day making it to ESPN or Fox Sports.”
