I am currently an undergraduate student at Indiana University Bloomington; where I am earning a Bachelor of Arts in Media, studying Sports Media at The Media School. I am also earning a Journalism Certificate from the school as well. Below are the organizations and opportunities I have been apart of while a student at the university.

Social and Digital Media Intern at IU Athletics / Cuban Center

I am currently a social and digital media intern with IU Athletics and the Mark Cuban Center for Sports Media and Technology. There, I help curate content for the social media accounts associated with the athletic department and individual sports programs, as well as distribute content to the athletes; such as photos and videos taken of individuals.

Student Ambassador at The Media School

I’m a student ambassador with The Media School at IU. While there, I help give tours to prospective students, help with events that are hosted by the school, and participate in ambassador training meetings throughout the year.

Social Media Coordinator for IU Marching Hundred

In March 2025, I started my position as the social media coordinator for the Marching Hundred. My responsibilities include managing the band’s Twitter and Instagram accounts, planning campaigns for the band’s social media channels, and overseeing the social media committee and the individuals in charge of the instrument-specific Instagram accounts.

Credential Representative at Indianapolis Motor Speedway

In May 2025, I served as a credential representative in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s college program. During my time with IMS, I distributed credentials to individuals. This involved me using IMS’ program to search for and produce specific credentials that the holder was assigned. I will work with credential services for both the 109th Indianapolis 500 and the 2025 Brickyard 400.

Marketing Intern at Finney Hospitality Group

For Summer 2025, I worked at Finney Hospitality Group as a marketing intern. I developed marketing campaigns with Finney, and the businesses under their umbrella: Yogi’s Bar and Grill, Social Cantina, Smokeworks, The Tap, and Kind Car Wash. Mainly, I did marketing for Kind Car Wash, based out of Columbus, IN. Some of the projects I worked on included setting up social media accounts for the wash, designing graphics using Canva to use on both social media and their video board underneath their street sign, and engaging with local community in Columbus to partner with Kind.

Other Organizations I’m Involved With

During my freshman year and part of my sophomore year at IU, I was a part of the Indiana Hockey Broadcast Network, who broadcast games on YouTube for IU’s club hockey team, who plays in the American Collegiate Hockey Association’s Division II. While being apart of the broadcast team I assisted with making graphics for the broadcasts, operated the camera during broadcast, and edited down the individual live streams into shorter highlight videos for the team’s YouTube channel and social media accounts.

Since the start of my freshman year at IU, I have been a member of the Marching Hundred and the Big Red Basketball Band. While being a member of the Marching Hundred organization, I have performed with the band during every home IU football game and traveling to some away games, performing at school spirit events by the university, and have taken part in exhibition performances for Indiana State School Music Association (ISSMA) marching band competitions and even performing prior to the 2023 Bands of America Grand Nationals in Indianapolis. While being apart of the Big Red Basketball Band I have been a part of the band that performs at the IU Women’s Basketball games, after the season ends for the Marching Hundred.
