I am a native of Boston and an avid fan of all our great sports teams. I studied sports management at Umass Amherst and went on to have a career in sports media. I covered live action and interviewed players, however my primary area of expertise has been managing stats in a newsroom. I spent more than eight years at SportsTicker, which at different times was owned by ESPN, PA Sports and STATS LLC.
I have recently become more involved with on-site stats as well. Since the start of the 2010 baseball season, I have had the pleasure of working at Fenway Park in order to collect pitch and player tracking data for MLB.
More and more I have seen sports information being delivered through computer graphics and online media. This led me to develop a professional and personal interests in graphic and web design.
Standing on the pitcher's mound, at home plate, working in the press box and almost all areas of Fenway Park and attending the opening ceremonies for the 2013 World Series are just a few of the highlights of my time while working for MLB.com.
While I enjoyed my full time work in sports, I made the decision to move on and make a career change. I decided to develop new skills to add to my experience and skill set and set forth in the field of graphic design and marketing. However, I was able to continue my involvement in sports with my seasonal role at MLB Advanced media.
My goals were to find gainful employment and end my days of working at night and sleeping the day away. I set out to find a day gig at a reputable organization where I could be an asset and be allowed to grow in my career development.
My Adobe Suite skills were solid enough to obtain a temporary position at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Executive and Continuing Professional Education (ECPE). There I was give the time to learn on the job and within a few months was hired for a full-time position.
Over the past five years I have been a major contributor to the marketing team and spearheaded its expansion in to the digital space of advertising and lead generation.
Thanks to the excellent benefits while working at Harvard, I can take Harvard Extension School classes. As soon as I was eligible, I begin taking classes and working towards a Web Technologies Certificate.
During the baseball season it can be difficult to find time for everything. Taking out my laptop in the bleachers during batting practice was sometimes be the best time to get my Web Development class work done. Now with the certificate in hand and classes done, I looking forward to taking on more freelance work.
