EC Gulls Feature Writer
Working within the EC Gulls athletic department at Endicott College has allowed me to explore my passion for sports journalism as both a feature and beat writer. In these roles, I have the creative freedom to cover a wide range of topics and writing styles, from profiling individual athletes and coaches to capturing the excitement of game days and team dynamics. Whether I'm telling the story of a standout player, analyzing team strategies, or sharing the latest updates on EC Gulls sports, I aim to engage readers with compelling narratives that highlight the dedication and talent within our athletic community.
