What is a favorite moment(s) about your internship: Being on the sidelines for the 2023 Colonial League soccer championship doubleheader and interviewing the players after was so much fun. The same day I went to the boys EPC soccer finals and saw an exciting game between Parkland and Northampton from the sidelines.

Thoughts of St. Luke’s partnership with D 11Sports.com: This partnership is a really unique opportunity for students to get involved in the world of sports media and to get hands-on experience. I think not only is it a great introduction to this line of work, but the experience also teaches us so many skills- especially being confident in unfamiliar settings and with new people. I’m grateful to have been a part of it and to have met a ton of great people along the way!

Plans after college: After getting a degree in the STEM field I plan to pursue a career in environmental management. I also hope to minor in media or writing and maintain a connection to journalism in the future.
