Why did you decide to become a sports journalist?
I’ve always loved sports, and it was an easy transition, with my first writing gig coming during my freshman year of college.
How do you research and verify the information in your articles?
I often research advanced metrics and cross-reference them with multiple outlets, including official league sites.
What is most important for you when writing sports content?
Easily digestible content. I want to make my point with advanced metrics, but the main purpose is to make it easily digestible.
How do you stay up to date with sports and leagues you cover?
I’m researching seven days a week, regardless of whether the games are in the past or future. I also use social media to stay up to date with beat reporters.
Do you have any direct experience in sports (playing, coaching, officiating, or analytics)?
I previously played multiple sports in high school, but I opted to focus on academics in college. That’s a main reason I have the analytics knowledge I have today.
