Our Affiliations
Dean College has partnered with some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment in New England!
I am currently working as a game-day coordinator for the New England Revolution. Dean's affiliation with Kraft played a huge role in securing the job, and it has been nothing but an amazing experience. My goal in the future is to hopefully transition to working with sports performance teams, and staying involved with Kraft Sports has given me the experience I need!
As the Director of Broadcasting and play-by-play voice for the Brockton Rox, I am responsible for all broadcast relations and media, as well as leading a broadcast team of seven. It’s been a tremendous experience helping this team grow and develop, and they have helped me grow as a leader and individual.
With the help of staff and faculty, I was able to complete three internships calling baseball in some of the finest collegiate leagues the country has to offer: the NECBL, Cape Cod League, and Texas Collegiate League. The experience I gained then led me to my first job out of school as a Broadcast Assistant with the Peoria Chiefs, the High-A affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals. I’m now firmly in the field I’ve always wanted to work in, doing what I love each day.
