I am a senior at Southern Illinois University majoring in journalism. I first become a basketball fan in 2016, when I watched Game 7 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 where I have written over 35 articles since June 2025.
