About

I have loved sports for only a few years now but it is a love that is so strong. Ever since I discovered how much I enjoyed watching sports, ESPN and sports related programming, I instantly knew what I wanted to do with my life. My goal is to one day be one of the broadcast journalists/anchors on Sportscenter.

I am currently a college sophomore at Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I started writing for the school paper, The Griffin, last year and have since been named the sports editor. I am a Communications major with a concentration in journalism/professional writing.

When reading my articles know that sports are my passion. Through my writing I hope to do my best to portray this passion and make sports your passion too!

    Good Stuff, Marilee. Are you fan of Andy Reid because of the Eagles, or something else?
