MY GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT: Within the past four years since graduation, I’ve contributed as a video freelancer within live sports broadcast production, features, digital media and photography for the four major Philadelphia sports teams: 76ers, Eagles, Phillies and Flyers. During my time at NFL Films, I won a National Sports Emmy as an associate producer for HBO’s “Hard Knocks.” In 2017, I helped Sports Illustrated launch a new streaming media network for documentaries and live shows called SI TV. With the SI team, I traveled to produce live short- and long-form Super Bowl 52 content. I’m very proud to have a Super Bowl ring that I earned while working as a camera operator for the Philadelphia Eagles. In April 2018, I had the tremendous opportunity to join the Philadelphia 76ers where I film, produce and edit features and digital content.

HOW DREXEL HELPED: Gaining professional experience through the co-op program while still in college helped me excel my career early. I had a full list of contacts from networking that helped me have a job lined up after graduation.

WHERE I’ll BE IN FIVE YEARS: I hope to be an executive producer in the sports filmmaking and production industry.
