NowThis
I played a pivotal role building NowThis Sports into the social presence it is today. It now has more than 500,000 followers on Facebook & Instagram. I have produced, written scripts, edited, hosted, reported, and booked talent on hundreds of videos. Here is a sample of my work including on-camera experience, interviews with star athletes, and other compelling features.
