What @Ellenpaige12 said!

Always thankful for the opportunity to get better with my discomfort of public speaking and share some wisdom from my journey to other up and coming rockstars in the industry.

Thanks @SBCUW for your time! https://t.co/l0uV87wdpZ

Off brand/sappy tweet incoming.

Four years ago when I was a freshman, it was the @SBCUW winter trip that confirmed to me that I wanted to work in sports.

Being able to lead this trip four years later and hopefully inspire kids just like me was truly an honor! #SBC4LIFE https://t.co/OgJo7o3S2Z
