Since January 2019, I've worked as a broadcasting intern for ESPN+, playing a role in the production of high quality live broadcasts of Eastern Illinois University home athletic events.

On the broadcast crew, I frequently work in the control room as the replay specialist. Using a NewTek 3Play system, I show replays of fouls and big plays throughout the game, choosing the angles and using slow-motion to enhance the viewer experience. I additionally create short highlight reels for us to use during halftime, before or after commercial breaks, and for a final rollout before we end the broadcast. I also create longer playlists which are then used to make highlight reels for the EIU PantherAthletics Youtube channel.
Highlight reels from a few of the games I've worked on appear below! |

I also frequently work in the film booth during broadcasts. I occasionally operate the main game camera, but I primarily operate the "hero" camera. In this role, I am responsible for capturing close-up visuals throughout the game.
