Fun little story here: This was a fun text I sent in January of 2023. I had just started as a Riverhounds intern, eager to learn as much as I can and start my career in sports. I heard there may be a time they’ll need someone to jump in the dog suit for content or events. This fired me up. I’m the same weirdo that asked Chuck E. Cheese if they needed someone to perform in the suit when I was 15?? Now, by no means was this a “dream”, but when they asked for a volunteer to perform in the Pittsburgh St. Patricks Day Parade, I was all in. Growing up loving Tux at all of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins games, I always thought it would be so much fun to put on a suit and act like a goof. Parade day came, and it was every bit as fun as I imagined. I’ve been fortunate enough to keep at it, and this Saturday will mark my third St. Patricks parade, also marking the start of year 3 as AMO. The point is, life can take unexpected turns, and opportunities may arise unexpectedly. However, maintain an open mind, make the most of any task you’re given, and the biggest thing I love to tell people, BE POSITIVE AND BE YOURSELF!! Sports are fun, working in sports is fun, everyone comes to a game/match/etc and wants to have fun. I’ve been fortunate enough to learn from some of the best in the industry, and I hope to pass on the knowledge I’ve gained to help others in the same way!

This week in my photography class I brought in some props to begin our product photography unit for an in-class workshop. This is a huge part of my role with YaJagoff Media LLC and one of my favorite tasks. I love putting together a holiday campaign - especially when I can incorporate lots of color and hone in on them in post-production. Educators, how have you been engaging your students with your other skillsets or experience? Also have to say Scott Baker, the delicious cinnamon smell definitely kept their attention!

On 3/20/25 me and my production team's broadcast at Duquesne University was featured as the number 1 play on SportsCenter's Top 10. With time running out, Jerni Kiaku made a crazy buzzer-beating shot to lead the Dukes to a first-round WNIT tournament victory over Longwood. I served as the replay operator for this broadcast and produced the highlights that were sent to ESPN. A big shoutout to our director Nicholas Aprea and the rest of the production crew for capturing this moment so well, and most importantly to Jerni and our women’s basketball team for making it happen.

A few questions I'm getting as it relates to our Student Summit: - We DO accept recent graduates. Just because you're not actively enrolled in a program, does not mean you can't attend. - Attendees who participate in the virtual session WILL have the opportunity to ask questions and interact with our staff. - Professors interested in bringing a class are welcome to message me. - We have space for about 100 attendees at our in-person session. These spots will be first-come first serve. Please let us know if something comes up and you can no longer attend, so that we can accommodate as many as possible. - An email with event details will be sent to attendees the week of the Summit outlining things like parking, recommended attire, directions to the press box, etc.
