Over my four years at Seton Hall, I’ve gotten the chance to write for and be a part of the editorial board for the campus newspaper, The Setonian. Transitioning from a standard staff writer (08/2016 – 05/2020) to the eventual sports section copy editor (05/2018 – 05/2020), I was able to fine-tune both my writing and editing skills.
Below is a sample of some of my notable work, with a link to the full archive of my posts at the bottom. In my time with The Setonian, I was able to interview and write on players and coaches from all official Seton Hall sports. Most notably, for the 2018-19 season and 2019-20 season, I was on the beat for the nationally ranked Seton Hall Pirates basketball team. This experience allowed me press access alongside some of the tri-state area giants of sports writing, as well as a chance to sit through press conferences of players and coaches, including Patrick Ewing, Tom Izzo, Kevin Willard, Jay Wright and more.
