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.

Green Bay Packers receivers Christian Watson (9) and Jayden Reed celebrate after Watson scores a touchdown against the Bears.

After the Packers’ offense had to play most of the season without a couple of key offensive weapons, they are finally getting healthy for their playoff push. A couple of receivers coming off major injuries came up big against the division-rival Bears.
