I founded my own sports website that mostly focuses on the NBA Draft, College Basketball, and Fantasy Football. In 2018, the first year of the website's existence, it had 31,000 views from 114 different countries. My Twitter account which is connected to the website has over 3,200 followers, and over 8 million impressions. Some of my tweets have been used by Bleacher Report's Team Stream, and USA Today's For The Win. Throughout the process of creating content for the website, I have interviewed sports professionals such as Sean Grande, Play-by-Play broadcaster of the Boston Celtics. Below are some links to articles I've written on the website.
