Current Position: Sports Information Director, Northwest Mississippi Community College

Hometown: Flowood, MS

Degree: B.S. in Sport Communication, 2005

What are the responsibilities of your current position?

Promote a 12-sport athletic department that competes in the NJCAA. I also manage our social media accounts, which are the most followed in the Mississippi Community College system.

What advice would you give to current students looking for internships or jobs in your field?

Apply everywhere. Don’t be afraid to get turned down for a job. I have been turned down on 5-6 different occasions, and it just adds fuel to the fire and makes me work that much harder. Also, know that you’re not going to get your dream job right away, you have to work your way up.
