I am a journalist based in Boston.

  • I’m the founder of Case In Point, the first independent, student-run publication exclusively dedicated to covering Boston University men’s and women’s basketball.

    After two seasons covering BU hoops for WTBU Sports, myself and a close friend in the BU student-journalism scene raised the level: instant takeaways, full game stories and opinion/analysis columns all season long. Plus, preseason feature stories you couldn’t find anywhere else.

    Our first season just ended, and we published 135 total stories on the men’s and women’s teams.

  • This season is my first covering the BU men’s and women’s hockey teams for the Blog, a branch of BU’s student paper, The Daily Free Press.

    I’ve become the Blog’s lead writer for the women’s hockey team, which went on an out-of-nowhere run to its first conference title in a decade. Our coverage of women’s hockey this season was the most extensive in the Blog’s history; we published over 80 stories and drove 16 hours each way to cover the team’s NCAA tournament first-round loss in Madison, Wis.

    To this point, I’ve written 54 stories for the Blog; 42 are on women’s hockey.

  • I worked as a Sports Co-op at the Boston Globe from January through June 2024.

    I covered high school sports in Eastern Mass, over which I managed the entire boys' and girls' rugby beat. I worked on the agate desk, laying out the scoreboard pages for the daily paper, and I worked as a web producer, laying out the online sports page, handling breaking news and writing social media copy.

  • I maintain a blog on Medium, where I write opinion pieces analyzing the NFL. I write a weekly column, recapping the week that was, and occasionally write long form pieces, like this one about Caleb Williams.

  • Over my first two years at BU, I covered the men’s and women’s basketball and soccer teams for WTBU Sports, BU’s student-run radio station.

    I covered the women’s basketball team during their historic 2022 season, and was there for their herculean comeback-that-wasn’t in the Patriot League Championship Game. I covered the men’s soccer team during their historic 2023 season, and was there when they did win the Patriot League Championship Game.

    For the 2023-24 basketball season, I was the editor and lead writer for 'TBU's beat. I covered the men's team's late-season surge to the PL semifinal and the rollercoaster that was the women's season, one that ended with yet another loss in the PL final.

    Before starting my blog on Medium, I wrote a weekly NFL column, formerly titled "The B-Gap," and eventually "The Break Out."
