I am a recent graduate of Southern Illinois University, where I earned my bachelor's degree in journalism. I first became a basketball fan in 2016, when I watched Game 7 of the Warriors vs Cavaliers in the Finals. I have written several broadcast scripts, press releases, and profile pieces throughout my college tenure. Currently, I contribute to The Lead and Sixers On SI, where I have written over 100 articles.
