This is still a moment that is leaving me in awe. A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of being one of the hosts for this year’s POC Pep Rally put together by the Paul Robeson Cultural Center. I had an amazing time being part of an important event highlighting students of color on campus. It’s crazy to know that I started my journalistic career at this pep rally just a few years ago with Culture Central PSU, to now being recognized as a host for the event. Big shoutout to Isaiah Maldonado for holding down the pep rally this year, and making it look effortless!! It is a testament to the greatness of Culture Central and the amazing opportunities it’s given everyone involved. For The Culture!

Well… As you can see your favorite sports analyst is back in the studio. I had a great time filming for the one and only Culture Central. I would tell you what I discussed… but I think you guys should tune into the full video to find out. Content dropping soon, I wouldn’t miss it for anything!

What’s going on LinkedIn! CLTR CNTRL is officially back and I had the honor of covering two different segments to start the semester off right. With homecoming just passing us, Mitchell A. Brown III and I took the time to discuss the sounds of homecoming and what that looks like for both Penn State and HBCU’s across the nation. Next, alongside Jezenia Marrero and Jaiden Hope, we discussed the rocky start for the AFC North and updates on the AFC conference as a whole. Be sure to check out both episodes with the links below, and keep an eye out for more content all semester long! https://lnkd.in/dNSKWwjZ https://lnkd.in/d2dv77Pw

LinkedIn family, it's been a minute! I'm thrilled to share my new piece for NBC Sports in coverage of Penn State Football! In his postgame press conference against Kent State, Penn State Head Coach James Franklin challenged fans to bring "White Out Energy" against its next opponent Illinois, immediately providing me with an angle for this piece. In Week 4 I gathered sights, sounds, game footage, and interviews to see if Penn State fans would live up to Franklin's challenge. Safe to say, they did. I want to thank Matthew Lamb & the people at NBC Sports for trusting my vision. You can check it out below! https://lnkd.in/ew7Mn7sz

Before I get too much farther into this school semester, I have to make note of and give my thanks to the experience and people that made my summer. On the 18th and 19th floor of the Comcast Technology Center sits Ralph J. Roberts Forum. It is an amphitheater completely unique to itself. The space is constructed with some of the most recent and updated lighting and sound systems, all uniquely crafted for this space.  Through my eleven week internship with the Forum team, I assisted with 30+ events, had sit downs with 15+ individuals, and assisted with 10+ research projects. We hosted multiple early screenings of Illumination, Universal films, and Olympic watch parties to support Comcast's employees and promote a positive working environment. I have never felt more patriotic than when watching THE Simone Biles and Suni Lee compete in the Olympics this summer. I spent my summer listening to Comcast executives, producers, guests, creatives, festival directors, and city leaders. I got to hear their life advice and career experiences, as women, and as leaders. I shadowed engagement leads as they conducted client calls and managed events, assisting in the research and development of future activations. With a few 5 am - 7 am calls watching a sunset over the beautiful views of Philadelphia, I got to shadow the Ralph J. Robert's production team, learn about their equipment, and their control room, broadcast, and cinema workflows. I also had the incredible opportunity to tour the Rockefeller Center, Comcast’s Studio C, and assist in producing Comcast's National Intern Day Program. Daily I saw what I had learned from my college courses and extracurriculars applied in the corporate world, and learned how to be a better leader and communicator. To Jordan Lane, Maggie Udovich, Erick Moreira, Brendan Krivda, and Reginald Ruff thank you for being my guides those 11 weeks. You truly made this program the incredible experience it was, and I couldn't be more grateful. The biggest thank you to my supervising manager Nick Swett for trusting me with the opportunity to be Town Hall's first Summer Intern. It's a one-of-a-kind space with a one-of-a-kind team, and I am so grateful to have been a part of it. Final thanks to the T. Howard Foundation and LaToya Redden, without whom I wouldn't be able to have this experience. I'm looking forward to taking all that I learned with me this summer into my future career.
