Sports Information Intern (August 2010 - May 2011)
As the Assistant to the Sports Information Director, I was the lead contact for UE men's and women's cross-country and women's tennis. I attended all home meets for all three teams, giving me the chance to learn about two sports that I knew very little. Before and after each competition, I would speak with team coaches to get their perspective and to add depth to our stories.I composed all articles related to cross-country and tennis for the athletic department webpage and press releases for Evansville media. I spent many hours in front of a computer waiting for results to come across the wire when the teams were on the road. Writing has always been tough for me, but writing about an event that I never saw, based completely off of statistics and a short conversation with the coach, was exceptionally difficult.
