She’s a journalist best known for her dynamic coverage of MMA events as a PFL reporter on ESPN, where she brings a unique blend of athleticism and insider insight to the world of combat sports. Her name often comes up when fans talk about reporters who truly understand the physical demands of the athletes they cover—thanks in part to her own background as a former Texas A&M hurdler. With energy and authenticity, she shares behind-the-scenes content that gives viewers a closer look at the sport beyond the cage.
Before stepping into the spotlight, her journey began at just 6 years old, when she started running hurdles and cheerleading—two disciplines that would shape her discipline and drive. By the time she reached The Woodlands High School, she had risen to become one of the top hurdlers in the state, earning widespread recognition and statewide honors. It’s no surprise, really, given that her family has deep roots in track and field. Her dad once competed in hurdles at Sam Houston State, and her grandpa made history as the 1954 state champion. So when people hear her name today in sports media circles, they’re not just hearing a reporter—they’re hearing someone whose life has always been intertwined with speed, strength, and perseverance.
During her time in college, she teamed up with another Texas A&M athlete to co-launch the “Seniors on JV” podcast. It quickly gained traction as she brought in high-profile guests such as MLB pitcher Asa Lacy and Olympic star Athing Mu. She really made a name for herself through this project, showing off not just her athletic side but also her passion for storytelling. Her involvement was pivotal, and her voice became a familiar one among fans of the show. In many ways, it highlighted her versatility—balancing sports, academics, and media. She consistently put in the effort, making sure each episode reflected her genuine interest in the journeys of her guests. Her role in shaping the podcast’s direction was clear, and listeners could tell she cared deeply about the content. Through interviews like those with Asa Lacy and Athing Mu, she helped elevate the platform into something meaningful. She wasn’t just hosting; she was building connections and sharing inspiring stories. And throughout it all, she remained grounded, letting her work speak for itself.
