I am a senior at the University of Wisconsin – Green Bay studying communication with emphasis in sports, journalism and social media. I’ve been around sports for my entire life. My family has been watching football and baseball for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I tried nearly every sport I could. I grew up in Winona, Minn., and living there meant I had to try my hand at hockey, but the only sport that ever stuck with me full time was baseball, which I played from t-ball through high school. Sports are very important to me, so I always wanted to work in this industry, and my time in college has given me the opportunity to write stories and produce videos about UWGB’s athletic teams. I have been writing for The Fourth Estate, UWGB’s student newspaper, for two years, and I will be taking on the role of student editor for my senior year.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf (4) looks for an opening during the third quarter against the Browns.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a Hall of Fame quarterback and a menacing outside linebacker, but a player who is a monster with the ball his hands could wreck the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

Green Bay Packers defensive end Micah Parsons (1) pursues Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett.

In the Green Bay Packers’ victory over the Arizona Cardinals, it was the player who was the talk of the preseason who stepped up in crunch time and helped bring home the 27-23 win.
