Recent graduate of SUNY Oneonta in May. Already have experience working for ABC and did some freelance work for the Long Island Catholic. I have already covered football, cross country and volleyball for Long Island, and I would be more than happy to expand those horizons. Resume is below. Thank you for the consideration.
