I support strategic communications for ESPN’s MLB, NBA, Little League World Series and FIBA properties, as well as ESPN Corporate Outreach initiatives.
I previously worked in ESPN’s New York office supporting communications for ESPN Ad Sales, Affiliate Sales, Marketing, Research and Digital teams. A western Pennsylvania native, I graduated from Mercyhurst University and earned my Master's degree from Catholic University before living and working in the Washington D.C. area.
I am an avid baseball fan who splits loyalties between the Washington Nationals, Baltimore Orioles and Pittsburgh Pirates. I also root for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Roger Federer.
