Summary
Since I could remember, I grew up watching the most captivating sports moments, along with extensive documentaries like '30 for 30' and '60 Minutes.' It was in these moments that my love for storytelling grew into an active aspiration. Now, I strive to uncover unique stories and present them in compelling, innovative ways. I also aim to bring fresh perspectives to sports coverage as the landscape is constantly evolving.
