As a member of WMUL's FM88 Sports Staff, I had the unforgettable opportunity to make my color commentary debut on Marshall Men's Soccer's Sun Belt Championship game against UCF. Tedious preparation, on-the-fly analysis, and building off my play-by-play's calls were all challenges I had to face when taking on the responsibility, but the experience I gained more than made up for the time invested. Below are a couple selected analytical segments taken from the broadcast.
I have also made various appearances on FM88 Sports' Buzzer Beater, a national sports topic debate program similar to ESPN’s “Around the Horn." The format is simple: the episode's host asks various sports questions, and four panelists must try and come up with the best argument to support their point. Below is a snippet from an episode I competed on.
I also have experience in news reporting, building original stories from the ground up. This news package, entitled "Bear the Dog," is also featured in written form in this portfolio. This story was the first real opportunity I had to shine a spotlight on my local community, a key goal that motivates me.
