Describe your job in 2-3 sentences: To help scout our opponents to prepare the staff and players for what to expect come game time, as well as breaking down our games live for instant feedback. I like to think of video coaches/coordinators as messengers of information; there's so much going on in a single game, and we help streamline that information to the coaching staff and players.
What was the first career you dreamed of having as a kid?
I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was little. I loved animals, but once I realized how much science I would have to learn, I realized it wasn't the career path for me.
What's the best piece of career advice you've ever been given, or what advice do you like to give others?
Say "yes" to opportunities that are available to you, even if you don't feel qualified! You don't have to be an expert in everything, and a lot of volunteer opportunities will provide experiences you wouldn't get otherwise.
What are your hobbies and why do you enjoy it/them?
I really enjoy making/playing music. It's relaxing for me and I enjoy using the creative side of my brain!
