I am a Sports Journalism Masters student at IUPUI in Indianapolis, IN. I recently relocated to Indianapolis to pursue my passion as a sports radio personality. I'm originally from Houston, TX where football is watched more than weight.

Growing up in Texas led me to become the sports fanatic I am today. Meanwhile, growing up around sports, gave me the chance to listen to a lot of radio hosts like Jim Rome, Mike & Mike, and Ralph Cooper. Furthermore, those radio hosts gave me the desire to want to have my own sports show one day.

My hobbies include watching football, basketball, and baseball. Studying game films, and analyzing the games. I'm an avid reader and I enjoy playing flag football, drawing, reading sports articles, watching sports, and watching sports documentaries.

I enjoy researching statistics on teams and players to debate and give my opinions on what I observed in the game. In addition, I love breaking down the game and simplifying it for others to understand. Also, I read tons of articles to stay abreast of current events that are going on in the world of sports.

My career goal is to become a sports radio or TV personality in any expanding media market. I plan to carve a niche for myself by bringing the fun to radio and to the fans in comedic and professional way.
