  Sports Information Director

  Offering more degree programs and specializations than any other art and design university, SCAD isuniquely qualified to prepare talented students for professional, creative careers.I’ve had an interesting journey with SCAD. My primary responsibility is the creation of content fordigital, social, and print media while serving as the primary media contact for all sports. I manage thewebsite and gameday operations for varsity sports.I’ve written over 1,000 stories in my time that have been published on the website, social media, and local news outlets. These stories shine the spotlight on athletic achievements for both teams and individuals.I led the 1 st ever streaming of men’s and women’s soccer, redesigned our website, and handle graphicsdesign.Communications is my passion and I enjoy doing it. But I’m also loyal. During the pandemic whenathletics were shut down, I was furloughed. Fortunately, SCAD saw enough out of my performance tofind an opportunity for me.So, in 2019 I became a Building Resource Specialist and was quickly promoted to be the Director ofBuilding Resources shortly thereafter. I ensured that all policies and procedures, especially with COVID,where adhered to by students, faculty, and staff in academic and operational facilities. I had a team of50 that I oversaw as well.Eight months into the pandemic, I was able to return to my role as Sports Information Director and havebeen solely focused on that ever since. But I learned a lot about how to adapt to new things. Show less
