Houston, Texas

I work in sports social media. Pittsburgh made me, Houston has me now, and every winter I am back on a board in Pennsylvania. Scroll and the stickers land one by one, while the gondola climbs past the bunny signs to the double black.

The rider

I make sports social. Nine seasons of game days, told one post at a time.

I'm currently the Social Media Coordinator for the Houston Texans. I'm passionate about the intersection of sports, storytelling and digital media, and about the accounts nobody else is watching: the mascot, the cheerleaders, the youth programmes, the bowl game.

I earned my B.A. in Professional Media and Communications from the University of Pittsburgh, with a focus in TV and Broadcasting Arts. During college I worked across Pittsburgh sport, with the Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and Pitt Athletics, on everything from social content to public relations, plus time behind the camera with Pitt Studios and the ACC Network, and a summer in the sports department at WFMZ-TV in Allentown.

Now in the NFL I manage day-to-day social content, contribute to major campaigns, and work with cross-functional creative teams to drive fan engagement. My goal is to keep growing in sports media by using digital platforms to inform, excite and connect with fans.

When I'm not posting, I'm snowboarding, which is the only reason this page is shaped like a trail map.
