About

I am an Iona College Alum and currently earning my Masters in Journalism at New York University's Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute.

I have been raised as a Yankee fan since I was a little kid, but I truly fell in love with them when they produced what was, in my opinion, the greatest team to ever take the field: the 1998 team. I was 10 years old when the Yanks swept the Padres in the World Series. Since then, I have followed their every move, along with moves throughout the rest of Major League Baseball.

In addition, I hold a great interest in the National Football League.
