Experiences
Listed below are some of the experiences I have taken part in while at Elon University that pertain to my major and the sports broadcasting field.
Learfield Radio Color Analyst- 2025 Ally ACC Women's Tournament
In March of 2025, I was selected by Learfield employees to serve as the color analyst for the 2025 Atlantic Coast Conference Women's Basketball Tournament. I served as the main color analyst for the two semi-final games, as well as the championship between Duke and North Carolina State. Working alongside professionals like Paul Roper, Luke Hallett, and Dan Cordtz was an honor, an amazing opportunity, and an experience I will take with me as I continue to learn.
National Girls and Women in Sports Day Broadcast
On February 4th, 2024, the Elon University Sports Vision program made history, producing the Elon v. Campbell Women's Basketball game, solely with an all female crew. This day was to honor National Girls and Women in Sports Day, and I was honored to serve as the color commentator for the broadcast. Not long after, a segment highlighting the work of this day was featured on the CBS national coverage of an Elon men's basketball game.

Learfield and Varsity Network Opportunity
In the Fall of 2024, I was chosen as 1 of 3 Elon students to call games for Elon Football via the Varsity Network and Learfield Radio. I was granted the opportunity through Taylor Durham, the voice of the Elon Phoenix. I was able to serve in the color analyst role, working alongside Max Wallace, a fellow student of mine, for a handful of the home games. I am grateful and appreciative for this opportunity and what it taught me.
2025 Costal Athletic Association Men's Soccer Championship
Although I had served as one of the color analysts for the Division I Men's Soccer Program at Elon throughout the fall, I was chosen by CAA Associate Commissioner, Ed Winsper, to call the first round, as well as the semi-final game at Elon University, alongside Max Wallace. Since Elon was a neutral sight, I had the opportunity to call games for teams such as Hofstra and College of Charleston, increasing my knowledge of the sport. The last shot of the first round game made it on ESPN Top 10, as well as the CAA Instagram which you can see here.
NASCAR and Donovan Williams Interview

My fellow peer Jack and I traveled to talk with Williams, a NASCAR professional and Elon Alumnus about his story from the Elon football field to the track of NASCAR as a pit crew member.

"Inside the Nest" Production
While at Elon, I brought back a show that had come to an end during COVID. Originally titled "Elon Phoenix Weekly" it was renamed "Inside the Nest". I wanted to reimagine the content to help first year students learn how to make packages and produce a show. For two years I have produced “Inside the Nest” with Elon professor Max Negin. It’s gratifying to be able to share fundamental production skills with fellow students.
WSOE 89.3 Radio- Women's Basketball
In the winter of my sophomore year, I joined WSOE 89.3, Elon's student radio, in the color commentary role for women's basketball. During my time with the station I have called both home and away games, including travel to Boston and Long Island—an amazing experience to immerse myself in the team and its culture.
2025 Costal Athletic Association Women's Basketball Tournament
Alongside my peer Max Wallace, I traveled to the nation's capital to cover the 2025 CAA Women's Basketball Tournament at the CareFirst Arena. Covered on WSOE 89.3, Elon's student radio, I served as the color analyst in the second round of the tournament. Calling the 53-47 thriller was an honor, and an amazing way to end the 2024-2025 Elon Women's Basketball season.
