In their own words…
What is your favorite memory as a UAA employee?
Standing on the field and filming in Oklahoma City in 2014 as the softball team celebrated its first National Championship. I was there to live in the moment and share that moment with our fans through the videos. I’ve been a Gator fan ever since I can remember and actually getting to witness one of the teams I cover win it all, to see the coaches, players, staff and families all celebrating… that was the best part! It was true happiness on everyone’s faces that night.
What is the best part about your job?
The best part of my job is easily that I am living out my 8-year old little girl dream of covering the Gators and connecting with our student-athletes and coaches. Seeing the teams I cover at their highest & lowest points and watching them work so hard to achieve it all. Watching them grow in four years is remarkable, Senior Day is always a hard one.
What do you like to do “off the field”?
Any moment I’m not at work, I’m with my wonderful husband
Denver and our two amazing kiddos, Sawyer & Millie. Having a family in this town close to my family is the best. We enjoy road tripping, the Rays and a good beach day! :)
