I have a background in international relations and computer engineering, so working as a broadcast journalist has been an interesting way to use knowledge from both fields. That said, my area of interest is in sport and it's been that way since May 2000. That was when I fell in love with basketball, specifically the NBA. Watching Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and Blazers was an eye-opening experience and more than 20 years later, moments like Kobe’s alley-oop to Shaq continue to fuel my passion of learning about the magical world of sport. And luckily, my job lets me write, edit and produce about my interests. I've put together packages, rundowns, bulletins, shows and documentaries. I'm skilled in video production and post-production, creative writing, non-linear editing, production planning and being tall.
