I am eager to continue my career in the field of sports broadcasting. I look forward to combining my skills, knowledge and athletic determination in a broadcasting position. I have the experience of being a team player in Division I athletics. I have an extensive sports background and I am fluent in the fundamental techniques of all sports; the technical language, rules of the games and most importantly the human side of being an athlete. I was an elite scholar athlete all four years at University of Oklahoma. I have traveled and played internationally representing the USA in Pan American Games in Hermosillo, Mexico; The Junior Olympics in Nanjing, China and The University Games in Tai nan City, Taiwan. I am enthusiastic to share my experiences; and like my life, I plan to train, practice and work hard to demonstrate my All American spirit and performance.
