Hello! My name is Zeke Sanders and I will be going into my Junior year at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire. I am currently purusing a major in journalism and a certificate in sports management. My current role with The Lead is a freelance writer/contributor for my favorite NFL the Dallas Cowboys. I have just recently started writing for work, but I have always found it really enjoyable. I am currently working for the amateur soccer club Union des Bateaux FC as a media intern where I have had multiple press releases and post match reports posted and published. I am super excited to be working with The Lead and can't wait to get started!
