I contributed each week during Fall semester to the \"Harp on Sports\" radio show on ESPN Gainesville WRUF, including \"The Clash\" segment debating sports topics with another on-air personality. In addition I have co-hosted and produced \"The Pulse of sports\" podcast each week and created the \"Recap with Kap\" podcast series. I have also done play-by-play football, basketball and baseball commentary for college, pro and high school games. I continued to develop my production skills through my role as a PA at ESPN. I have recently been promoted to Content Associate. I find and edit necessary audio that is played on SportsCenter and create production elements that are played on various ESPN Radio shows.
