EDUCATION

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

I have been a part of the Lake Mary Basketball program for the past three years, where I have taken on a number of different roles. I started off as the Varsity Assistant Coach, before taking over as the Freshman Head Coach in my second year. As the Freshman Head Coach, my team went 14-1 with an average margin of victory of +18 points per game. In my third year at Lake Mary, I became the Head JV Coach, where my team finished 13-4 with an average margin of victory of +12 points per game.

My daily routine consisted of analyzing pre-recorded videos and editing together highlight reels for high school basketball players. I was also one of their main content producers in that I wrote feature articles on premium clients as well as helping maintain relationships with AAU coaches and programs in the state of Florida. Also co-directed two separate recruiting events, where players participated in a recruitment workshop, skills-development training, and live game play in front of college coaches.

It was my job to attend and shoot team press conferences and games. I would then bring back what I shot, and created a highlight reel of what happened during the game as well as handling all things television-related to Gator Basketball. I was fortunate enough to fly to Madison Square Garden where I was the main reporter on the team during their NCAA Tournament run.

Using archived footage, I put together a rundown of the most important events and stories from each weekend. I then wrote scripts in ENPS and created and edited video to go with my scripts. I then went live during the sports segment of WUFT’s First at Five Newscast. Also, during my time at WRUF, I wrote articles pertaining to nearly every sport from the NBA and NFL, to NASCAR, to Collegiate Tennis.

After participating in the morning pitch meeting, I traveled to various locations in Gainesville to cover the story I pitched, while also seeking out other newsworthy stories. I had until 4:30 p.m. to go out and shoot footage, get interviews from experts to help advance the story, edit the footage and write the script for the total news package to air on the First at Five newscast.

I have been a part of the TNBA family since 2013. I started off as a summer camp coach for the Orlando Magic Basketball Camps. Since then, I have coached and trained players of various different ages, including coaching 11U through 17U AAU teams. I also had the opportunity to coach the Varsity Boys team at St. Mary Magdalen through TNBA.
