Using all of the things I learned over my first 3 years at Marywood, I felt like a seasoned pro and was so grateful for the opportunity. Now that on camera appearances are becoming more and more regular, I've learned that you can only get better with practice, and that's just as true when playing sports. I've been able to share some ideas with many people in my time at Marywood and I'd like to think that I was able to help some people along the way. By using all of the tools that I learned in school and out in the field, I'm confident that I'll be able to fulfill my dream of becoming a baseball announcer. Thank you Marywood for helping me make that dream more and more possible every day.
