I worked with the live programming and social media teams to promote the content from "Newsy Tonight." I used editorial judgment to choose the top stories from the show to cut, edit and post on various social media channels. I teased segments and content earlier in the day to promote what will be seen later that night.

I was a host for digital content including the weekly Draft and a live-streamed weekly show "First Brew" where I analyzed the matches, recapped the previous weekend’s play and previewed the upcoming week’s matches. I conducted pre- and post-game interviews on game days with players and coaches.

I educated and promoted health and wellness in the Northwestern athletic community by planning and executing workshops on mental health, alcohol and drug awareness, sexual violence prevention, etc. twice per quarter. I lead communication between teammates, coaches, athletic trainers and administration. I spearheaded the Green Bandana Project promoting Mental Health Awareness Month with a social media campaign including a video I wrote and produced.

I balance full-time academic course load with 20+ hours per week of practices, nationwide travel to compete against NCAA Division I schools, strength & conditioning, team meetings and film. I creatively problem solve both on the court and in communication with teammates. I collaborate with 21 teammates in high pressure situations to pursue goal of qualifying for the NCAA Tournament.

I updated and created social media content including BTN's Top 25 B1G Volleyball Games of 2018 series. I researched off-season feature content ideas to improve the prevalence of women’s sports in the media.
