Rowan University
When I transferred to Rowan University entering my sophomore year, I discovered my passion for journalism and, more specifically, storytelling. I paired that with my love of sports and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism with a minor in Sports Communication and Media.
I spent my three years at Rowan University with leadership roles at Rowan Radio. My junior year, I became the first woman in the station's history to color commentate a Rowan University football game.
The Rowan Report is an award-winning program bringing you a weekly news recap of local, national, political, international, sports and entertainment stories aired every Saturday at 9:30am on Rowan Radio 89.7 WGLS-FM.
Every week during the 2020-2021 school year, I cohosted and produced the show. I was an active member of the award-winning News Department all three years of my enrollment at Rowan University.
